Former state school employee Laurie Condon, who retired in May 2018, saved $38,796 toward a pension over 13 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Condon would collect as much as $752,869, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.

The projection assumes Condon received $15,824 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Condon will have already received $48,911 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
