Former state school employee Bonita Slovinski, who retired in May 2016, saved $195,177 toward a pension over 34 years working for public schools, Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois records show.

Over 30 years of retirement, Slovinski would collect as much as $4.59 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes DuPage Policy Journal.

The projection assumes Slovinski received $96,501 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.

After 2 years of retirement, Slovinski will have already received $195,897 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
