Former state school employee Judy Sinkler, who retired in July 2017, saved $76,429 toward a pension over 22 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Sinkler would collect as much as $960,707, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.

The projection assumes Sinkler received $20,193 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Sinkler will have already received $84,481 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
