Money 08

Former state school employee Mary Dejong, who retired in June 2016, saved $141,484 toward a pension over 22 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Dejong would collect as much as $2.72 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Dejong received $57,238 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Dejong will have already received $176,917 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
