Former state school employee Patricia Sullivan, who retired in June 2018, saved $86,339 toward a pension over 18 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Sullivan would collect as much as $1.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McHenry Times.

The projection assumes Sullivan received $28,073 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Sullivan will have already received $86,770 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
