Former state school employee Julie Breese, who retired in June 2017, saved $135,394 toward a pension over 31 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Breese would collect as much as $2.69 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.

The projection assumes Breese received $56,627 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Breese will have already received $175,029 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
