Former state school employee Suzanne Shafer Wilson, who retired in July 2018, saved $96,239 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, Shafer Wilson would collect as much as $1.39 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Shafer Wilson received $29,191 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Shafer Wilson will have already received $122,125 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
