The convoluted and opaque parts that must be taken on faith that they are right. For example, in navigating TurboTax Premier I often find a confusing lack of explanations, and using it is supposed to make it easy.
Don't need to check the markets, my iPhone does that for me in real time. But seriously looking at it? When my stock Funds report dividends and at tax time to verify whether any realignment is warranted or necessary. But since I subscribe to John Bogle's investment philosophy hardly ever. I don't depend on my investments for income as I have a generous pension plan that generates the income and provides for additional investments, hobbies, and gifts mainly to family.
