Money 07

Former state school employee Celeste Breslow, who retired in May 2017, saved $21,810 toward a pension over 6 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Breslow would collect as much as $300,056, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.

The projection assumes Breslow received $6,306 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Breslow will have already received $26,382 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
