Money 02

Former state school employee Regina Wright, who retired in August 2017, saved $2,771 toward a pension over 1 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Wright would collect as much as $111,931, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Cook News.

The projection assumes Wright received $2,352 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Wright will have already received $4,775 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
