Money 05

Former state university employee James Gundlach, who retired in January 2019, saved $130,037 toward a pension over 24 years working for state universities, State Universities Retirement System of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Gundlach would collect as much as $2.37 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Carbondale Reporter.

The projection assumes Gundlach received $49,716 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 3 years of retirement, Gundlach will have already received $153,666 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
