Is $95,000 to build a pool with landscaping a fair price?
Project Details
My wife and I are seriously considering building a pool. We live in Central Florida and have three young children with the oldest being six. We love the idea of having the pool when the kids are young but it’s a significant investment that we don’t want to regret. We like to entertain and spend time at home, this would allow us to expand that. We know we will create some awesome memories, but could create other memories using that money in other ways. We have a community pool that is very kid friendly about 0.5 miles from our home. Our kids are heavily involved in sports, and we're worried we may not fully enjoy the pool if we’re traveling a lot of weekends for events. We have a design attached and are open to recommendations.
