Over 30 years of retirement, Christian would collect as much as $621,338, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Christian received $13,060 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Christian will have already received $40,368 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
