Former firefighter Marco Lindo, who retired in November 2016, saved $140,545 toward a pension over 23 years working for fire departments, Firemen's Annuity and Benefit Fund of Chicago records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Lindo would collect as much as $2.63 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Lindo received $55,323 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Lindo will have already received $170,998 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
