Former state school employee Carolyn Meyer, who retired in May 2017, saved $117,995 toward a pension over 37 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Meyer would collect as much as $2.82 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes South Central Reporter.

The projection assumes Meyer received $59,323 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Meyer will have already received $120,426 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
