Former state school employee Susan Murphy, who retired in June 2016, saved $147,017 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, Murphy would collect as much as $2.17 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rock Island Today.

The projection assumes Murphy received $45,616 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Murphy will have already received $190,840 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
