Former state school employee Susan Wiest, who retired in May 2018, saved $149,838 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, Wiest would collect as much as $3.11 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Peoria Standard.

The projection assumes Wiest received $65,456 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Wiest will have already received $202,319 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
