Money272

Former EMT firefighter Paul Holzman, who retired in February 2019, saved $81,451 toward a pension over 13 years working for fire departments, Firemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Holzman would collect as much as $1.7 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Holzman received $35,764 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Holzman will have already received $110,543 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
