Former state university employee David Gorenz, who retired in February 2019, saved $82,478 toward a pension over 17 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Gorenz would collect as much as $1.11 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Gorenz received $23,316 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Gorenz will have already received $97,543 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
