Glad to hear your enjoying yourself more in Japan. You may be making less but your not wasting your life away doing what you so not like.
Consider this though, in one year in the USA you made 4 years worth of one year teaching Japanese? What if you were to work 5 years in the USA and save as much as possible (live like a pauper almost lol). That would equate to 10-15 years worth of money to live comfortably in Japan, during those 10-15 years you can easily gain futher qualifications, start out in a new career and work you way up the ladder etc. All the while never haveing to worry about your income. Just food for thought.
