Hoping someone can help me on this great Friday morning

I've only published two pages here and my second one has 15 outgoing links spread threw out the entire article..So my question is: How many is to many? If I remember correctly only about 8 of them are to the same place more or less...Without the critque section I'm a little lost and that's why I'm not posting a link here, not sure if this is allowed...I had no problems publishing it but I don't want to do anything wrong, I think I should of been smart enough to ask this question first before eagerly hitting the publish button... Thanks looking forward to the answer 

You may post links anytime here for a review request, ravenko.

At this point, we don't have a hard-cut policy about the number of links per page. Use your own judgement by asking yourself: does the reader benefit from your collection of links, or do they serve only to create more backlinks for you?

Google values anyway only the first link to a certain domain and devalues the rest. Too many links to the same domain may be detrimental to your ranking chances.

"How can I deliver the greatest value to my readers" is always a good rule of thumb. Google thinks so, Wizzley thinks so, and you should consider it, too.

For example, ask yourself: does this link really add to the readers' experience on my article? Will they learn more on the linked-to page? Or is it only more of the same stuff they already get through the previous links? Common sense.

I'm sure you'll figure it out on your own.  :)

Just taking what Chef Keen says a step further...

If you are not sure then imagine all the links removed, together with the text relating directly to those links. What are you left with?

A page that gives value to a visitor gives them something that does not depend on them clicking a link. Let them take something away with them without having to click.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and comments, the help is a greatly appreciated, I can't believe how fast my question was answered...

Hoping you all have a wonderful weekend
