Former fire engineer William Munson, who retired in December 2016, saved $152,814 toward a pension over 24 years working for fire departments, Firemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Munson would collect as much as $2.97 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Munson received $62,493 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Munson will have already received $193,160 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
