Former state school employee Cynthia Sarff, who retired in June 2016, saved $141,662 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, Sarff would collect as much as $2.9 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Sarff received $60,936 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Sarff will have already received $188,347 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
