What we need for survival is not perhaps the
yardstick to use in arriving a figure to ask in a
job negotiation. It is what the minimum wages
board keeps in mind perhaps.

That is surely commendable. However, perhaps 40k
that this teacher made was a good sal. in that
region. So, you could always command/demand a sal
that the market is paying or willing to pay -
then do what you will with the surplus.
The bigger question here is, in terms of one's
social standing (or even someone's impression of
you - until they know you better), salary and
stuff are indicative. So if you settle for a
lower salary because you are a teetotaller, a
nonsmoker, and use a bike to work: well, it's
nice of you but people wd think you dropped out
of school. As someone said, the other writers may
ask you to bring coffee even. Maybe you don't
care but be aware is all i say.
Then again, the corporation is making megabucks,
why not make them pay you?
Thanks and regards,
