How much is the minimum I should ask for ?

Working out of town for 17-21 days at a time .
Home for 4 days and off , then back to the cycles .
Working Monday-Friday / off Saturday and Sunday but still stuck in a hotel miles from home .
$65 per diem that only goes to food , not paid to you directly .

Minimum offer is $60k but I was thinking more around $75k. What would you take ?

Update on this , I asked for $80k because I truly would love the job and do my best at, I find out what they say tomorrow!

They came back with 66k and noted that it was a final offer.

The other perks is the $65 food credit
Inurance / Benefits aren't too bad

Realistically I guess that is reasonable on their front. The position was "non-negotiable" and here we are are at 66k. My ideal perfect world number was 75k, but now i would really just settle for 70k and call it a day. But I fear that if I say that I would rather 70k it would end the deal and I wouldn't get the job at all.

I had a coworker who was a few hours from home working similar hours (60hrs/wk Mon-Fri; home on weekends) for similar pay (probably $60k). It was hard on his wife and kid. To be away even longer and only home just over 10% of each month? That's not worth it for that low pay. I would suggest finding something better that's closer to home; your family needs you and I know first-hand that if you die tomorrow no business you work for cares. Your family does.
