I always say my requirements are flexible considering benefits and other incentives or perks. Stating a number directly can lead to you being offered less than what they would have offered on their own if you had said nothing. It could also lead to you not being offered a position if it is too high.

I honestly don’t mind how much I get paid. I just want to work for this business to help the company grow as a team. Then save the money for college and help support my family.
