Put in a pool when we built our house 30 years ago and don't regret it.


We don't have kids but have enjoyed it ourselves and it was great for parties and our friend's kids really enjoyed it. Now those kids are having kids and the cycle is being repeated. It is a little work but I have a good pool company and they do the spring opening and the winter closing. I take care of it during the summer which means basically making sure the chlorine and PH are correct. Opening and closing costs is about $1000 a year and I go through a $100 bucket of chlorine tablets over a summer. The pump which runs 24/7 will add to the electric bill but not too much. Like others have said, it is an entertainment expense.
