Former state school employee Lynn Kaliski, who retired in July 2018, saved $38,747 toward a pension over 20 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kaliski would collect as much as $1.4 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Kaliski received $29,495 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Kaliski will have already received $59,875 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
