Over 30 years of retirement, Birkner would collect as much as $96,705, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Egypt News.
The projection assumes Birkner received $2,032 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 4 years of retirement, Birkner will have already received $8,502 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
