In Judaism, the study of torah is considered above all else. However, there is also a need to be able to provide for one's family.
How does one calculate the amount of time one should devote to torah study and how much should be spent towards generating income.
Answer
The Chafetz Chaim writes (in the Sha'ar HaTziun) that a person should ask himself 'would that it were that I had to support someone else, how much would be sufficient?' And then apply that to himself. I'm sure a lot of extras would go out the window.
