Former state school employee Elizabeth Schultz, who retired in May 2016, saved $124,222 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, Schultz would collect as much as $2.67 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kankakee Times.

The projection assumes Schultz received $56,164 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Schultz will have already received $173,597 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
