I almost never tally all financial assets across accounts in a precise way. I do keep the checking account in balance and review all monthly financial statements. I sometimes check brokerage accounts a few times per week but sometimes go for months without logging in if I am not interested in buying or selling something.
Due to the daily fluctuations in the market I tend to discount the gains, especially new highs, and mentally tally using very round numbers that are not precise and represent some lower level that is closer to bear market territory.
