Depends on your age, your kids’ ages, number of kids, age of spouse, how much
she makes, and what your lifestyle/expenses are like.

I'm not sure what you are asking, so I'll say just insurance

Enough to pay off the mortgage and all debt. Plus a bit to make life easier. Kids are adults now.

You might be surprised at how many policies are portable. 9x seems like plenty

Those portable policies through employers can cost a lot if you leave your job.

Enough not to have to use the logic that she’ll remarry quickly and be fine.
