Former state school employee Elaine Lagoda, who retired in May 2017, saved $116,511 toward a pension over 24 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Lagoda would collect as much as $1.84 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Lagoda received $38,719 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Lagoda will have already received $119,677 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
