Former state school employee Pamela Faulkenberg, who retired in May 2016, saved $114,074 toward a pension over 30 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Faulkenberg would collect as much as $2.17 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Faulkenberg received $45,537 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Faulkenberg will have already received $140,750 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
