Money 04

Former state university employee Lesley Millar Nicholson, who retired in August 2016, saved $227,800 toward a pension over 15 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Millar Nicholson would collect as much as $2.79 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Chicago City Wire.

The projection assumes Millar Nicholson received $58,738 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 4 years of retirement, Millar Nicholson will have already received $245,737 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
