Money 01

Former state university employee Lisa Burgoon, who retired in November 2018, saved $99,767 toward a pension over 24 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Burgoon would collect as much as $1.58 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Burgoon received $33,312 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Burgoon will have already received $102,963 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
