Former state school employee Julie McPherson, who retired in May 2018, saved $143,339 toward a pension over 37 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, McPherson would collect as much as $3.08 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes McPherson received $64,652 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, McPherson will have already received $199,834 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
