Money 07

Former state university employee Leonard Pitt, who retired in April 2019, saved $292,556 toward a pension over 32 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Pitt would collect as much as $6.61 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Pitt received $138,918 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Pitt will have already received $429,383 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
