Over 30 years of retirement, Youse would collect as much as $2.26 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Youse received $47,474 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Youse will have already received $146,737 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
