Very little. Retirements are on auto-pilot - defined benefit pensions and Social Security. Investments went into house and cross-country move. Savings just are. |

You still have to go in and make changes though. What do you do with your learning? |

My incomes, SS, retirements, etc. I can do nothing about except collect...LOL
My IRA's are in Fidelity Mutual Funds and I have a small blue chip stock profolio and as I do not chase the market, these things were chosen for long term stability/growth not as speculations so they are pretty much on auto piolt.
Bottom line is I do not spend much time at all. I sometimes do not check my investments for weeks at a time. Last time I updated my spreadsheet of them was 7 days ago.

Investing: directly about 4 hours a day, Monday through Thursday. Reading, researching, another couple hours, generally per day. It's pretty much my "job" (only don't tell the IRS that). Got tired of paying an investment advisor to buy mutual funds, especially once I added up the fees I was paying, directly and indirectly.
