My wife finally talked me into installing a pool about 6 years ago, after years of nagging and pestering.

I knew it was a bad idea, i knew it was throwing money away, I knew that after a few years it would rarely get used.
And i told her so. Many times.

But eventually I caved.

Guess what? I was right. it was a huge waste of money, after a few years it rarely gets used, and it is costing me about $100 a month on top of the $65k I threw away.

My advise is, forget the pool, send me $40k and keep the rest, it'll be cheaper for you in the long run.
