Money041

Former state school employee Donna Baird, who retired in November 2018, saved $2,167 toward a pension over 2 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Baird would collect as much as $126,581, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Quincy Reporter.

The projection assumes Baird received $2,660 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Baird will have already received $2,660 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
