Money 02

Former state school employee Monica Dobre, who retired in June 2018, saved $115,299 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, Dobre would collect as much as $2.27 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.

The projection assumes Dobre received $47,713 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Dobre will have already received $147,475 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
