I do like the automatic set it and forget it. Especially with scheduling transfers into investment accounts. I could probably get into rebalancing short-term, but I think long-term I would get bored and forget.

Yeah it’s not for everyone, but I just have an event on my calendar for every six months, and I just rebalance when it goes off. Only takes a short while, especially if you are using some tool that will tell you what your weights are.

Any tools you recommend? Also, how sure are you that the cost savings actually make it worth the effort? My gross expense ratio is 0.08% (I think I’m looking at the right number?)

It really depends on how complicated your set up is and how much you value your privacy. I use personal capital (now empower), which also helps me manage a budget as well, and see our multiple investment accounts all in one place, so I can balance both mine and my wife’s. So I would recommend that, with the caveat that you might not feel comfortable sharing all of that with a third party.
