Former state school employee Nancy Bolen, who retired in June 2016, saved $172,240 toward a pension over 39 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Bolen would collect as much as $4.06 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.

The projection assumes Bolen received $85,403 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Bolen will have already received $173,368 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
