Former state school employee Julie Barganz, who retired in July 2017, saved $8,328 toward a pension over 7 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Barganz would collect as much as $443,832, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.

The projection assumes Barganz received $9,329 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Barganz will have already received $9,329 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
