The most important question is how much disposable income you have that can be set aside for the future. (for simplicity/privacy, lets say as a percentage of gross) [As an aside, you should be trying to get this percentage as high as possible]

What is the maximum that you can set aside for company stock purchase, in what vehicle is this asset stored (taxable or untaxable account), and are investments this way in post-tax or pre-tax $$$?
