Former paramedic Kathleen Paolini Kennington, who retired in November 2016, saved $47,582 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, Paolini Kennington would collect as much as $3.54 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Paolini Kennington received $74,434 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Paolini Kennington will have already received $74,434 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
