Your bank account balance - How often do you check?

I check mine every time I go to take cash out, and also a few times a week online.

Not really checking my balance as such, but just making sure nothing untowards happens with my account(s).
 
I check mine all the time, surprised at the amount of people that can leave it a month or more!

Depends whats going on in my life on how much I check it, but usually atleast 3-4 times a week.
 
Every Monday..
Doesn't really matter to me what the numbers are when you owe 28 grand and don't own a house. My eyes just glaze over and I hit PAY.. then log out :D
 
Everyone keeps telling me to bankrupt myself.

I spent the money so I'm going to damn well pay it back..... It's a moral thing.
 
Once a week really. I get paid on a monthly basis, and as long as that has gone in fine, and all my online purchases have been recorded correctly, I see no reason to check it more frequently.
 
The account I use for direct debits is checked 2-3 times a week to make sure the amounts being taken are correct. The other account for daily spending and food is checked daily to make sure spending isn't excessive.

Not checking your b/a regularly is possibly the worst thing you can do when you're low on cash (speaking from experience in younger days), and will encourage you to turn a blind eye to otherwise important financial activities that you probably really need to take note of.

Man up, check it every couple of days, and plan/budget accordingly. :)

Not low, around 12k in there now, but still, I'm not really saving at the moment :(
 
I do it everyday when I get to work along with my credit cards to make sure there is nothing wrong and that I've got enough money in the right accounts for whats going to come out.

In the process of selling it all now as I cannot be arsed with any of it.
