What are your salary expectations?
The best way to discuss your salary expectations are to use your current earnings as an example. Be open, and honest. Also do some research and see if you can find the range that they have budgeted for the position. Remember that transparency is the best choice when salary based questions arise.

Currently, I am earning 140,000 a year with vision, dental, medical, and retirement. I am at the top of my pay scale. I rely solely on my income, so I am looking for something comparable with the opportunity to grow.

Don't feel obligated to provide your current salary or even a specific number. A salary range might be a good idea so you can save the details for the negotiation table. Also, consider reiterating what you bring to the table and why you deserve the salary you are requesting. Good job!
