Money 06

Former state school employee Adrienne Hugo, who retired in May 2018, saved $126,912 toward a pension over 32 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Hugo would collect as much as $2.84 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Hugo received $59,737 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Hugo will have already received $184,641 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
