Money 05

Former state school employee Susan Campo, who retired in June 2016, saved $10,731 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, Campo would collect as much as $240,979, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Campo received $5,065 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Campo will have already received $15,656 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
