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.
I went thru the same "ordeal". Finally gave in and had a large concrete inground pool built. This was about 15 years ago and cost about $30k! We used it a good bit at first, but now it is almost never used. HUGE waste of money! Something I would NEVER do again!!!
