Former state school employee Ruth Rhodes, who retired in June 2016, saved $118,656 toward a pension over 31 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Rhodes would collect as much as $2.4 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Rhodes received $50,341 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Rhodes will have already received $155,599 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
