Former state school employee Vickie Richardson, who retired in March 2018, saved $49,268 toward a pension over 14 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Richardson would collect as much as $1.02 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chambana Sun.

The projection assumes Richardson received $21,473 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Richardson will have already received $66,371 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
