Former state school employee Audrey Fenbert, who retired in June 2017, saved $183,456 toward a pension over 33 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Fenbert would collect as much as $4.05 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.

The projection assumes Fenbert received $85,201 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Fenbert will have already received $263,348 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
