Money 02

Former state school employee Marguerite Anderson, who retired in May 2016, saved $90,305 toward a pension over 23 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Anderson would collect as much as $1.67 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.

The projection assumes Anderson received $35,107 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Anderson will have already received $108,512 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
