Former state school employee Virginia Cavallini, who retired in June 2016, saved $139,401 toward a pension over 29 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Cavallini would collect as much as $2.68 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Cavallini received $56,434 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Cavallini will have already received $174,432 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
