Former state school employee Suzette Sanecki, who retired in June 2018, saved $251,672 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, Sanecki would collect as much as $5.13 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.

The projection assumes Sanecki received $107,898 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Sanecki will have already received $333,502 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
