I grew up in IL. A gal I knew as a youth retired at age 48 from a teaching career. She and her husband were both public school teachers, retired under age 50. Their combined salary from about 2014 was close to $200,000. I expect their lifetime pensions are a good percentage of that figure.

I’ve lived in Illinois all my life. Biggest mistake I made was not getting a job with the State as soon as I got out of school. I’d be living on easy street right now if I had done that back then.

And don’t forget they’ll make more in pensions when they retire then go on to double dipping and hire on again.

A gal I knew as a youth retired at age 48 from a teaching career. I suspect she didn't actually retire at 48, but deferred it until 55. The only way to retire before 55 that I know of, was 30 and out. New hires can't retire before 67..

I don’t know the details, other than that she and spouse announced they were retiring, and they no longer work at jobs.

One of the more eyebrow raising pension stories I’ve heard is ValJar’s part time postion at the CTA. She worked for 8 years pulling in about $50K a year. The last I heard she was collecting $38K per year in retirement. Not sure how she pulled that off.

Probably has to kick back $100,000/yr to the one who gave’em the job.

Heh, I know it is no laughing matter, but for some reason, I find that both incongruously funny, and infuriatingly plausible!

YEah, it really isn’t because I subtracted $100,000 from several of those salaries and they looked about right for a government salary for the job.

That is nauseating to even consider...dammit.
I tend to look at every single one of these things now as a tip of an iceberg.
