Money041

Former substitute teacher Dwayne Armstrong, who retired in November 2018, saved $5,627 toward a pension over 3 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Armstrong would collect as much as $134,395, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Armstrong received $2,824 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Armstrong will have already received $5,733 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
