Former state school employee Rebecca Sphar, who retired in May 2018, saved $67,215 toward a pension over 20 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Sphar would collect as much as $1.33 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.

The projection assumes Sphar received $27,985 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Sphar will have already received $86,500 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
