Anticipation Is All the Fun
You know who wants a pool the most? Someone who has never had one. A pool is an incredibly exciting home improvement until you actually install it.
You may be envious of your neighbor who just installed a pool. But guess what? Envy cuts both ways. You have three things they don’t:
A pool is still an exotic thrill for you. Going to a hotel or someone’s house with a pool is a special treat. That fun feeling died in me long ago (at best, it lasts one summer for a pool owner).
You have tens of thousands of dollars that you didn’t spend on a pool. You can splurge and buy your neighbor a case of beer when you go swimming at his house.
You have a backyard without a swimming pool in it! For many, that is the final stage of evolution in pool ownership, and you are already there.
