I don't believe she has any way of knowing your actual current salary. In that scenario, I'd simply say a current salary within 15% to 25% of my new salary expectations. Moreover, your expected salary is something you should be aware of from your own market research. Some professions early on in your career may require some guess work. You need to say a number you're happy with. I've said a number 10 to 15% higher many times. If they are interested in you as a candidate, they will work with you.

You need to provide more details regarding your income, debt, and living expenses. Otherwise the advice you receive will be links and super generic. Spend less than you make, cut back on all non essential expenses, and increase your income. How quickly you can do any of that depends on the numbers. Good luck.
