Former firefighter Zooie Mansour, who retired in November 2016, saved $141,339 toward a pension over 29 years working for fire departments, Firemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Mansour would collect as much as $3.44 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Mansour received $72,296 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Mansour will have already received $146,761 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
