Money 07

Former state school employee Karen Briscoe, who retired in May 2016, saved $86,472 toward a pension over 25 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Briscoe would collect as much as $1.54 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes East Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Briscoe received $32,459 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Briscoe will have already received $100,328 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
