Former state school employee Fred Goldstein, who retired in August 2016, saved $8,023 toward a pension over 5 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Goldstein would collect as much as $433,059, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Goldstein received $9,102 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Goldstein will have already received $9,102 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
