Just curious why monitoring? (Disclaimer: I have no idea what mine is and I don't really care.)
I realize this is the business and investing forum so you probably already know this, but first thing that comes to mind is it can have a drastic effect on the interest rate a lender will give you on big purchases, specifically a house. It could be the difference between a 2.8 and 4% rate on a 30 year which could amount to tens of thousands of dollars.
EDIT: I didn't know what mine was either until I started to build our house late last year and found out it was lower than I thought it would be.
