Money 03

Former state school employee Gail Schroeder, who retired in May 2017, saved $66,070 toward a pension over 24 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Schroeder would collect as much as $1.37 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Sangamon Sun.

The projection assumes Schroeder received $28,887 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Schroeder will have already received $89,288 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
