Over 30 years of retirement, Kristin would collect as much as $4.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.
The projection assumes Kristin received $93,508 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Kristin will have already received $189,821 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
