Personally I don’t get the appeal. It would be cool to have if you had parties frequently, but the upkeep is a bitch

You can order a kit for a nice inground liner and get someone to dig it for you. Then install yourself with couple buddies on a long weekend for less than 15,000. I’ve helped two people do it, and it’s not that bad

If you really want a pool it's better just to buy a house that already has one. Let someone else eat the 50k unless that's not much money to you.

Upkeep isn't bad. I spend less than an hour a week on the pool.

Only if you're an idiot. You keep up with water hardness, chlorine levels, PH balance, alkalinity, and use stabilizers to increase the life of the chemicals - all kept up with an app via testing strips, or if you want to go all out you can use a chemical testing kit. Top it all off with skimming the top for leaves or debris, and like a weekly vacuum (and you can buy a robot to do this is you're lazy). Pool maintenance is not rocket science.
