Former state school employee Vicky Osborn, who retired in May 2018, saved $121,969 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, Osborn would collect as much as $2.34 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Osborn received $49,211 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Osborn will have already received $152,106 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
