Money 08

Former state school employee Carolyn Bailey, who retired in August 2016, saved $8,485 toward a pension over 5 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Bailey would collect as much as $345,391, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.

The projection assumes Bailey received $7,259 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Bailey will have already received $14,736 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
