I have finally reached a position where my personal finances are more than adequately being taken care of by my job income and I am working to funnel any and all extra into my business endeavors. What I am curious about now is how much/ or what method should I use to determine how much cash reserve I should keep. I would say I am not in the toddler stage of my business development rather than the infant stage, if that helps at all.
