Former state school employee Martin Kaspar, who retired in June 2016, saved $123,444 toward a pension over 28 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kaspar would collect as much as $2.14 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Kaspar received $44,933 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Kaspar will have already received $138,883 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
