Former state school employee Carolyn Daniel, who retired in May 2016, saved $100,367 toward a pension over 28 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Daniel would collect as much as $2.04 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Daniel received $42,899 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Daniel will have already received $132,597 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
