What kind of work do you do? How much storage space do you need to do your work for a month? It might be a good idea to move some data offline if you don't need it frequently.
Your SSD should comfortably fit your apps and perhaps what you're currently working on.
I was about to say how many TB you needed on a drive for a single storage drive but I was uncertain how many times I should count 'general storage'.
Anyway, SSD for apps and maybe current work too, an external drive for additional storage. 8TB or more?
And then you need a backup system. Either another external for time machine or a cloud backup or both.
8TB external drives regularly go on sale for $120. Perhaps grab two.

A few months back I snagged a 12TB for $175
