Over 30 years of retirement, Young would collect as much as $987,985, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Young received $20,766 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Young will have already received $64,186 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
