Former state school employee Karen Furrh, who retired in May 2016, saved $134,470 toward a pension over 32 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Furrh would collect as much as $2.87 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.

The projection assumes Furrh received $60,243 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Furrh will have already received $186,205 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
