Former state school employee Bryan Ruff, who retired in June 2017, saved $149,373 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Ruff would collect as much as $3.62 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.

The projection assumes Ruff received $76,075 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Ruff will have already received $154,432 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
