The kids and their friends use the pool almost every day in the summer, nice to keep them close to home and occupied.
I don't fish enough anymore to own a boat but still miss having one.
Luckily I have friends with boats to scratch that itch every month or so.

Waste or not, if one thinks a boat or pool is a waste, then I feel that person can't afford one or the other or just to dam cheap in the first place. Life is just to short living under a rock.

pool hands down.

A boat would be a waste of time/money for my wife.
A pool would be a waste of time/money for me.

Oh I’m all about living your life...I was just pointing out the use of “investment” and pool together.

Which is a bigger waste of money? An 80k boat or an 80k pool?
How many people spend $80K on a pool? The average cost of a an in ground, gunite pool including a surrounding patio is less than half of that. In South Florida, the ROI on a pool is 10-15%. If you own a $80K boat, you have to factor in the cost of insurance and storage....unless you live on the water - then you pay through the nose for owning a property with ocean access.

As a investment in one or the other, look at it as a investment of entertainment. No more, no less.

Depends on where you live
In DFW the growth has driven up the prices of pools. Starting price is 45-50k. I got a quote on a basic 14,000 gallon play pool with hot tub for 78. Never ended up doing it
Took companies 2 weeks to even call me back because they are so backed up with jobs. One of the companies I used said they were on pace to build over 300 pools in just Collin County last year.

I love my pool.
80k is retarded for both items.
You can get both for half that.

You do know that is not how selling a house works right??

Travel sports for kids is probably a bigger waste of time and money than either of these
