The amount of time I spend on my investments would encompass the amount of time I spend on my investments, my husband's investments, the investments for my 3 kids and the money I manage for my mother - probably more than average just keeping everything in order for tax time. When I have the time to spend studying investments, I do but when other things take precedence, I don't stress about it. This fall, I'll be watching my older son run in cross-country meets, traveling for work and my professional organization. I volunteered at the library's used book sale. I'm flying across the country to check on my ill daughter and then again in 2 months to attend an important dinner with her.
Life is all about balance in many, many ways.
I spend about an hour a month monitoring my investments. This is where I sit down go through any paperwork I have received concerning my investments during the past month, filing what needs to be put away and plugging any changes into a spreadsheet. I spend one or two hours a month updating my current investments. I spend an average of five hours a week looking for mew stocks to purchase or present to our investment club.
