I’m thinking a person should count on a minimumbof 235/mo pool budget. Probably more. Pool’s kind if expensive. I can better understand why it can be a liability in selling s house having owned one under a year. It’s also a thingvthat constantly needs attention.

I agree that this number is in the ballpark. Even if you have a “solar cover” over an in-ground spa, it will cost about $80 minimum per month extra in utils to heat it to 103 deg about 8x per month for 5-6 mos year.
About 15 yrs ago, I went to a friend’s party who heated their just-built pool for <12 hours just for the party (didn't have solar panels). It cost them $235 extra on their utility bill just for the party! Rates have risen exponentially since then.
Having had pool/spas in the past, I can tell you that it is MUCH cheaper to belong to the Y, even for a whole family’s monthly membership! And that includes their circuit training and all their classes, as well!!

April 15, 2011 at 2:20 PM #687145ScarlettParticipantMy experience with all gym memberships, including YMCA, is that I don’t end up going. too much trouble, have to drive there, I hate the public showers, etc. The one closest to me didn’t have much in terms of classes convenient for working people, so, for my daughter’s classes (swim, dance, etc.) we end up driving all the way to Mission Valley/Toby Wells ones.
I have to have my gym/pool in walking distance.
