Former state school employee Kathy Abry, who retired in May 2018, saved $152,564 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Abry would collect as much as $3.15 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.

The projection assumes Abry received $66,190 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Abry will have already received $204,587 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
