Money 06

Former state school employee Susan Beinecke, who retired in June 2016, saved $79,644 toward a pension over 21 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Beinecke would collect as much as $1.41 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.

The projection assumes Beinecke received $29,739 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Beinecke will have already received $91,920 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
