Former state school employee Diana Fuchs, who retired in May 2017, saved $143,409 toward a pension over 45 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Fuchs would collect as much as $4.03 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Fuchs received $84,622 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Fuchs will have already received $171,783 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
