Former state school employee Kathleen Goetter, who retired in July 2017, saved $173,232 toward a pension over 23 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Goetter would collect as much as $3.16 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Goetter received $66,421 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Goetter will have already received $205,301 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
