Former state school employee Karen Bahr, who retired in May 2017, saved $131,376 toward a pension over 38 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Bahr would collect as much as $2.86 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Bahr received $60,186 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Bahr will have already received $186,030 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
