Former state school employee Debora Martell, who retired in June 2017, saved $118,248 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Martell would collect as much as $2.39 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.

The projection assumes Martell received $50,313 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Martell will have already received $155,512 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
