Money 07

Former state school employee Vicky Bumpas, who retired in June 2018, saved $138,218 toward a pension over 29 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Bumpas would collect as much as $2.61 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.

The projection assumes Bumpas received $54,803 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Bumpas will have already received $169,390 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
