Money 06

Former state university employee Carol Gordon, who retired in November 2018, saved $127,052 toward a pension over 30 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Gordon would collect as much as $2.49 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.

The projection assumes Gordon received $52,272 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Gordon will have already received $161,567 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
