Money 04

Former state school employee Lisa Colwell, who retired in May 2018, saved $94,238 toward a pension over 20 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Colwell would collect as much as $1.58 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Colwell received $33,106 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Colwell will have already received $102,327 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
