Money 07

Former state school employee Juan Almazan, who retired in May 2016, saved $172,026 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Almazan would collect as much as $3.61 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.

The projection assumes Almazan received $75,853 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Almazan will have already received $234,455 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
