Money 06

Former state school employee Frances Eres, who retired in June 2016, saved $100,537 toward a pension over 34 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Eres would collect as much as $2.36 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Eres received $49,503 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Eres will have already received $153,009 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
