How often do you look at your investments?

Daily? Weekly? Monthly?

Every day, but I put rules on myself to resist selling unless there is just an obvious reason too. Like the market down this week is not a reason.

Depends.
The individual stocks that I pretend are going to make me rich? Every day. Stupid volatile stuff, gotta make sure my $2.00 prerev OTC biotech company that's curing cancer isn't dropping 50% in one day, ya know?
The real investment accounts that are actually the ones that will let me retire eventually? Maybe once a quarter, tops. Probably closer to a couple times a year.

I monitor the ups and downs basically daily but I only tweak investments probably quarterly. I’m a buy and hold investor and basically use a 3-fund portfolio strategy.

Daily
And I probably shouldn't unless I have time to find the answers to the questions that arise.

I get a daily email on what the Dow did day before but I don't pull up the investment accounts but maybe once a month. Everything is generally on autopilot.
Quarterly I'll do checks to make sure I'm saving desired percentage of income.
I like to do a monthly net worth check because I'm in process of paying down some massive debt and accumulating assets. Positive encouragement to see the needle move.

I check daily to see how my stonks are doing.

I put on a blood pressure cuff and check constantly during trading hours.

I keep an eye on it daily but just to have a gauge on what's happening. I'm a long ways a way from retiring so there's no point since I'm auto drafting everything anyway. I do stay in discussions with others about different investment avenues. I spend more time diving into real estate than anything else right now.

I need to look away today.

All of my investments besides work 401k is at Fidelity. My primary billpay/checking/atm is also at Fidelity and have one of their credit cards.
So I usually log into Fidelity 2-3 times a week depending on what's going on. While I may not login specifically to look at investments, I see them.

I'm usually in tune with how the day is going by looking at the major indices, but I check my accounts on the weekend.

IRAs - update a spreadsheet quarterly.
I have a play-a-round stock market account that I watch pretty much Monday through Friday but trade probably no more than 1 or 2 times a month.

Monthly.
I like to peek at AAPL & MSFT a little more often (especially looking to see if MSFT will announce a split. They are overdue.), but all other accounts monthly.
Pay yourself first, remain consistent (dollar-cost-average), and don't stress over it.

I have a financial spreadsheet that I'm in about 4 times a week (almost daily).
I'm checking most everything tied to my job each time (401k, HSA, pension).
I may look at my brokerage account monthly.
The same for our 529s (monthly).
I peak at real estate values maybe twice a month.
Checking/savings with each payday.

I used to look more than I should, which is stupid because I'm a buy and hold investor who just sails along on cruise control. I've made a conscious decision to look less because it doesn't change anything and I'm not going to actually need the money for at least 20 years. I do like to keep up on how much we're putting in our 401ks and Roths though.

I check mine multiple times per day but I own a lot of individual stocks and do some trading.
I check my 401k less often which is all mutual funds but still a few times per week.
