I feel the same way. Put a pool in once upon a time. First two years fun, then after that was just work and money. The kids really didn't even use it anymore. To keep an unscreened one nice it becomes a daily deal.
Once you own it for a while and start replacing pumps the money starts flying out. Then the heaters on the indoor pool went out and it was big money. Then the dehumidifier goes out and you just bring in the trucks of cash
