Former state school employee Janet Streight, who retired in May 2017, saved $89,528 toward a pension over 26 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Streight would collect as much as $1.74 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Macon Reporter.

The projection assumes Streight received $36,554 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Streight will have already received $112,986 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
