Former state school employee Henrietta Young, who retired in July 2017, saved $165,119 toward a pension over 40 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Young would collect as much as $4.16 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Metro East Sun.

The projection assumes Young received $87,506 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Young will have already received $177,637 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
