Former state school employee Eugene Oreilly, who retired in June 2018, saved $179,927 toward a pension over 23 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Oreilly would collect as much as $2.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes West Cook News.

The projection assumes Oreilly received $51,440 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Oreilly will have already received $215,204 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
