I'd hope after a year and $20k you'd be prepared.

I think this would be the goal unless you are getting your instructor cert just to have another card in your wallet.

And, as someone that has been living off of CFI pay for the past two years, you don't want to be in any more debt than you have to be.

If you're not willing to do this then you don't deserve to be a CFI, much less a commercial pilot.
