Over 30 years of retirement, Golbeck would collect as much as $22,579, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DeKalb Times.
The projection assumes Golbeck received $474 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 5 years of retirement, Golbeck will have already received $2,517 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
