Money 08

Former teacher Emmanuel Poulakos, who retired in April 2016, saved $33,630 toward a pension over 6 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Poulakos would collect as much as $428,499, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Poulakos received $9,006 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Poulakos will have already received $37,677 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
