Former state school employee Douglas McCausland, who retired in June 2018, saved $139,448 toward a pension over 37 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, McCausland would collect as much as $2.95 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.

The projection assumes McCausland received $61,930 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, McCausland will have already received $191,420 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
