Money 02

Former state school employee David Kreps, who retired in May 2017, saved $140,659 toward a pension over 30 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Kreps would collect as much as $2.65 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.

The projection assumes Kreps received $55,795 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Kreps will have already received $172,457 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
