I don't. I find it boring. It's also weird in the sense that it's a lot like staring at a wound or a trophy. I'm content knowing I don't have a wound. If I had dependents or debt or something, I might need to be more vigilant though, but I suspect even then I wouldn't nickel and dime it. I mostly try to ballpark stuff and make sure my habits put me in the black.
When I cared about my net worth, when I was saving a lot, I mostly made sure my skills and skill level were increasing (so that I was storing value in myself), that I was routinely asking to get paid more (and prepared to do what it'd take to earn it), and that I kept my expenses as low as I could without neglecting my needs.
