There does, however, seem to be a basic TEFL LAW, which states that if you're on a full-time contract of 24-26 teaching hours per week, you will have enough money to pay rent in a modest, possibly shared apartment, pay for food, get out and about to explore at weekends, have the odd beer or glass of wine of an evening, and, throughout your contract, get some money put aside for flights home at Christmas. Generally speaking, you tend to live fairly basically, and what you earn is not usually enough to support partners and family back home or pay back debts or mortgage installments. In many ways, TEFL can be a bit of a return to your student days, where there is less emphasis on material 'stuff' and more is being absorbed into the culture of the experience.
