Money 08

Former state school employee Yvonne Farwell, who retired in May 2017, saved $126,210 toward a pension over 33 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Farwell would collect as much as $2.56 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Farwell received $53,714 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Farwell will have already received $166,024 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
