Over 30 years of retirement, Lightfield would collect as much as $398,857, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.
The projection assumes Lightfield received $8,383 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Lightfield will have already received $25,910 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
