Money 01

Former state university employee Steven Destri, who retired in June 2016, saved $37,555 toward a pension over 6 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Destri would collect as much as $735,394, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Destri received $15,457 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Destri will have already received $47,777 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
