Money 03

Former state school employee Patricia Redisi, who retired in January 2017, saved $46,604 toward a pension over 11 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Redisi would collect as much as $743,860, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Redisi received $15,635 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Redisi will have already received $48,326 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
