Ep 65: How Often Should You Check on Your Investment Returns?

How often should you log into your investment account? Daily? Weekly? Monthly? What if I told you that checking too often can actually make you feel worse — even when your investments are doing exactly what they’re supposed to do?

Today we’re talking about something almost nobody discusses in investing: the psychology of monitoring wealth.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

  • Why daily portfolio checks are a financial "coin flip" that destroys your discipline.
  • How "negativity bias" makes you feel worse even when your investments perform well.
  • Why checking annually gives you a 75% mathematical probability of seeing growth.
  • How to stop micromanaging your money and manage your emotional response to market randomness.
  • How to shift your focus from fluctuating numbers to a volatility-proof financial plan.
