Former state school employee Diane Finn, who retired in June 2018, saved $169,435 toward a pension over 35 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Finn would collect as much as $4.19 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.

The projection assumes Finn received $88,055 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Finn will have already received $178,752 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
