Money041

Former state university employee Bonnie Noble, who retired in May 2016, saved $9,686 toward a pension over 3 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Noble would collect as much as $680,444, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Noble received $14,302 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 1 years of retirement, Noble will have already received $14,302 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
