Former state school employee Deborah Tuggle, who retired in May 2017, saved $137,286 toward a pension over 36 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Tuggle would collect as much as $3.32 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Tuggle received $69,855 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Tuggle will have already received $141,806 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
