Former state school employee Kenneth Koenig, who retired in April 2018, saved $7,258 toward a pension over 6 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Koenig would collect as much as $172,949, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.

The projection assumes Koenig received $3,635 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Koenig will have already received $7,379 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
