Money 06

Former state school employee Debra Olejarz, who retired in June 2018, saved $153,115 toward a pension over 39 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Olejarz would collect as much as $3.92 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Olejarz received $82,353 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Olejarz will have already received $167,177 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
