Former state school employee Susan Busker, who retired in May 2017, saved $138,321 toward a pension over 26 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Busker would collect as much as $2.57 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Rockford Sun.

The projection assumes Busker received $54,066 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Busker will have already received $167,113 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
