Former state school employee Robin Dishkin, who retired in June 2018, saved $108,002 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, Dishkin would collect as much as $1.86 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.

The projection assumes Dishkin received $39,088 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Dishkin will have already received $120,818 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
