Technically speaking, I would say none seeing as how I'm not convinced there is such a thing as free will. That said, it's impossible to live life according to that assumption, and free will provides a useful tool to describe our perception of the world, even if it does nothing to describe it's technical underpinnings.
So with that in mind, I would say I agree with Cynthetiq that eventually there comes a point when the individual's choices ought to be considered to play a significant role in the outcome of events. Even then, it's important to keep in mind that outside factors never go away, and we should be open to the fact that what seems an easy and obvious choice for one person can be much less so for another.
