If you invest your money right, you don’t need to look at it all the time, maybe once a quarter.
Also, it’s safer and more profitable to be in indexed funds like vanguard which you pay a small expense fee (Some of mine have .02 % fee) compared to non-indexed funds with over 1% fees. Don’t buy loaded funds either, upfront or backend, these can be 4-5% or more.
I’ve been doing my own investing for 40 years without a broker and over time I do much better than friends that pay 1-1.5% broker fees because a lot of them sell funds that are best for them (loaded, high expenses) and still don’t make the profit of indexed fund’s overtime.
IMO, if you don’t know how to invest, there are a few brokerage houses that charge very low fees like Schwab’s robo investing (0% fees) or say Vanguard at .4% (check for sure) but you know Vanguard will buy you diversified low cost/low fee indexed funds
