Money 04

Former special education worker Constance Faust, who retired in July 2017, saved $117,444 toward a pension over 24 years working for public schools, Chicago Teachers' Pension Fund records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Faust would collect as much as $1.93 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Faust received $40,614 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Faust will have already received $125,533 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
