Former state school employee Linda Stahlhut, who retired in June 2017, saved $102,463 toward a pension over 16 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Stahlhut would collect as much as $1.61 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Kane County Reporter.

The projection assumes Stahlhut received $33,865 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Stahlhut will have already received $104,673 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
