Former state school employee Susan Flynn, who retired in May 2017, saved $84,981 toward a pension over 19 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Flynn would collect as much as $1.48 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Flynn received $31,107 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Flynn will have already received $96,148 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
