Former state school employee Carolyn McGuire, who retired in June 2017, saved $146,335 toward a pension over 24 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, McGuire would collect as much as $2.45 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.

The projection assumes McGuire received $51,583 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, McGuire will have already received $159,437 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
