Where are you guys working that you get $1200 a month? Unless you're in a college or somewhere that has terrible weather...that is not something you should expect to make as a CFI.

Go down to AZ and make $50k + instructing. Shoot I worked at TransPac and we made 28k and I thought that was low.

$14k a year isn't even a job, you must be logging like 200-300 hrs a year.........
