Former state school employee Marie Chavosky, who retired in May 2016, saved $99,189 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, Chavosky would collect as much as $1.8 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Chavosky received $37,885 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Chavosky will have already received $117,100 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
