Hi. First of all, please don't write in capital letters. IT'S LIKE YOU'RE YELLING AT US! Seriously, reading your post hurt my eyes.

What do you consider "decent"? And where do you want to go? In many countries (if you can get work--some have "native speaker" requirements that, right or wrong--I tend to think they're wrong--give preference to other nationalities), you will earn enough to live comfortably. If you need to send money home, your choices are limited to a few east Asian countries and the Middle East, and for the good jobs in the Middle East you need more qualifications and experience than you've currently got. A CELTA is really only good for entry-level jobs.

If you need to earn enough to save, you will be quite limited in terms of where you can teach.
