Money 03

Former state university employee Scott Drazewski, who retired in July 2016, saved $5,688 toward a pension over 10 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Drazewski would collect as much as $141,110, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Drazewski received $2,966 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Drazewski will have already received $6,021 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
