<prompt> Human: Hey everyone:Im finishing up school with a few job offers on the table, and in the process of negotiating salaries I thought it would be good to estimate expensesdesired savings and have a way to visualize what I should be aiming for in terms of salary in order to meet these goals.1 Put in a base salary and in what increments you see yourself being able to change this2 Put in estimated expenses, the spreadsheet will automatically weight these. Put in your savings you with to have per month, as you can see with mine by default Ive added some different monthly goals.3 Output: The spreadsheet will then automatically look at your expenses and in the first table, show you what percentage of your money will be going to each expense and how much of your total salary is going towards expenses.4 Output 2: The second table includes your desired savings goals. So it will look and immediately take these away from your salary, and then using the weights for expenses it will show you how much you CAN afford for those expenses given your salary and savings goals. I hope this will be useful to some of you in figuring out how much you really should be making in order to achieve certain goals while maintaining a certain lifestyle. The only difference between the XLS version and the Gdocs version, is the XLS version will give you green salaries if you are within the affordable range. I couldnt do this on gdocs for some reason.Excel: Gdocs: Skydrive: EDIT: Made the Gdocs version read-only, just save it to your own drive to manipulate. Also added a Skydrive version for native viewing.  <response>: There is no relationship between appropriate salary and expenses.
