Former state university employee Michael Finedore, who retired in June 2018, saved $214,184 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Finedore would collect as much as $5.42 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Finedore received $113,888 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Finedore will have already received $231,193 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
