At $20/hr for 85 hours/month, you'd be getting $20k/year. In a world where regional jet pilots are getting $30k/year, I don't think $20k/year for flying a Cessna around is that bad of a deal. Especially considering the average 85 hour/month CFI is probably working less and home more than the average regional airline pilot.
At many schools you can make more. Figure in at least an hour of ground instruction for each hour of flight time and you are making $40,000/year. Again, not bad for a 172.
