Former state school employee Timothy Jarden, who retired in May 2017, saved $137,260 toward a pension over 34 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Jarden would collect as much as $2.81 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Jarden received $58,980 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Jarden will have already received $182,300 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
