Money 03

Former state school employee Deborah Schultz, who retired in June 2017, saved $104,763 toward a pension over 26 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Schultz would collect as much as $2.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Lake County Gazette.

The projection assumes Schultz received $42,880 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Schultz will have already received $132,537 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
