Money 03

Former state school employee Martha Jones, who retired in July 2016, saved $179,434 toward a pension over 24 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Jones would collect as much as $3.07 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Jones received $64,514 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Jones will have already received $199,405 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
