Money 06

Former state school employee Robert Nelson, who retired in June 2018, saved $156,868 toward a pension over 39 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Nelson would collect as much as $3.4 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Nelson received $71,402 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Nelson will have already received $220,696 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
