Money 02

Former state university employee Charles Ogundipe, who retired in January 2016, saved $89,540 toward a pension over 29 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Ogundipe would collect as much as $1.89 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Ogundipe received $39,811 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Ogundipe will have already received $123,051 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
