Former state school employee Martha Parsons, who retired in June 2017, saved $120,627 toward a pension over 34 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Parsons would collect as much as $2.52 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Parsons received $52,974 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Parsons will have already received $163,737 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
