Former state school employee Stephen Adams, who retired in May 2016, saved $163,862 toward a pension over 31 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Adams would collect as much as $2.75 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.

The projection assumes Adams received $57,786 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Adams will have already received $178,612 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
