I mean, rides in boats aren't expensive either if you don't own the boat.

The best boat is one owned by a friend. The same goes for campers/RVs

You'll always have a friend asking around. Not always a bad thing

If you actually stay on top of it and do everything you're supposed to, no. The people I see compassion the most are the ones who don't put a cover on our treat the pool or swap filters and then piss and moan when they have to vacuum leaves or pull all the algae and so on.

Just like with a house, keep on top of it, or rebuild when the pipes burst.

Now if you'll excuse me. I have a leaky copper pipe I need to go ignore

Honestly, when we first moved in I struggled a ton with the water chemistry and finally changed the water this year. Everything is so much easier! Just start with fresh water and you should be fine

pools are annoying to clean, are you going to use it all the time, is the wife? you have to clean, drain disenfect with pool specific cleaners. my next door neighbor spend 2 months building a half assed deck that probablly cost 10s of thousands, likely over 100k just so they can sit on it on OCCASION, so wasteful and caused headaches for the neighbors like months.
