How much extra do/would you get out of bed for?

What, as a percentage of your salary would you get out of bed for?

edit::
Rephrasing this:

How much is your free time worth to you?

or:

How much do you need to get you to work extra hours?

    In my job there is no opportunity for over time so any is good. I do lots of different things to earn the money and actually enjoy the variety of it all, never knowing what extra work you have on. Its also these little extras, such as surveys and mystery shopping that really end up boosting my earnings.

    So, what about you?

    I don't understand the question.


    I know if I had a job that paid £9.50 per hour, lost it and was offered a job for £6 per hour I'd say "I wouldn't get out of bed for that"

    On the other hand, I get out of bed on Saturdays and do something that earns me £4 per hour.

    There's a big difference between getting out of bed to do something that earns your living, and something that is just extra.

    I may not "get out of bed" to earn £6 per hour as a main job, but I'd be up at 6.00am at the weekend if I had something I could do at home to earn me an extra £4 per hour.

    I'm a bit lost withthe question too. But as an example if we can find another £200 a month/ £50 a week to throw at debt then we will cut our DFD to Feb 09.To me thats so worth it even if it means working for a good bit less than my regular hourly rate
