Former state school employee Cherie Dunbar, who retired in May 2018, saved $75,028 toward a pension over 21 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Dunbar would collect as much as $1.27 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Dunbar received $26,730 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Dunbar will have already received $82,620 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
