Former state school employee David Young, who retired in May 2016, saved $173,791 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, Young would collect as much as $3.91 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes McLean County Times.

The projection assumes Young received $82,226 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Young will have already received $254,153 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
