Over 30 years of retirement, Ireland would collect as much as $2.98 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes Will County Gazette.
The projection assumes Ireland received $62,668 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 2 years of retirement, Ireland will have already received $127,216 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the teachers' pension fund.
