Unless you hire a pool boy, which I assume your wife wants

I live across the street from the 30' x 60' neighborhood pool. Hood has 36 homes and no one ever uses the pool. Annual cost is $600/ household.

Just got finished with mine. Same boat. My wife wanted one. We used Brian Keith if you are in the BR area. Would recommend. We dropped about $52k. Has a water feature wall, gunite, brick border around pool deck, glass tile, glass tile border in plaster. turned out really nice. Hopefully I don't regret it.

We had one when I was a kid.

After a week or two the novelty wears off for the year and it gets too hot.

No she doesn't.

She wants a boy who comes to clean the pool.

Only way to get ahead on this is to find a house with a pool, make a low offer because of the the pool, move, profit

I had a pool put in about 10 years ago for a little over 30k. I would assume 40k is plenty.

Garden is messy and plants are dead, but here's a couple pics of the pool:

Neighborhood pool is the way to go. I pay 55 bucks a month for pool, tennis court, basketball half court. No maintenance. And no fear of drowning when my kids wander in the back yard (or even worse, neighborhood kids jump your fence).

My wife wanted a boat. Unfortunately it wasn't the type I wanted. Now we have two boats, so I can't afford a pool.

Pools are not hard to maintain. Buy a robot and never have to manually vacuum again!

No, no and no. $40k is low for the initial outlay and the upkeep, in time and money and aggravation, will kill you.
