Former state school employee John Mulrenin, who retired in May 2017, saved $161,654 toward a pension over 25 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Mulrenin would collect as much as $3.32 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Mulrenin received $69,810 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Mulrenin will have already received $215,775 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
