Former state school employee Virginia Fiocchi, who retired in June 2016, saved $108,583 toward a pension over 29 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Fiocchi would collect as much as $2.48 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.

The projection assumes Fiocchi received $52,156 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Fiocchi will have already received $161,210 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
