Money 03

Former state school employee Richard McLaren, who retired in May 2018, saved $73,362 toward a pension over 18 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, McLaren would collect as much as $1.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes McLaren received $21,809 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, McLaren will have already received $91,240 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
