Former state school employee Karen Stachowiak, who retired in June 2016, saved $109,135 toward a pension over 21 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Stachowiak would collect as much as $2.11 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Illinois Valley Times.

The projection assumes Stachowiak received $44,367 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Stachowiak will have already received $137,134 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
