I mean, rides in boats aren't expensive either if you don't own the boat.

The best boat is one owned by a friend. The same goes for campers/RVs

You'll always have a friend asking around. Not always a bad thing

And pools! I've learned the hard way

Shit, my wife talked me into buying a house with a pool. I intend on doing the maintenance... am I fucked?

Honestly, when we first moved in I struggled a ton with the water chemistry and finally changed the water this year. Everything is so much easier! Just start with fresh water and you should be fine

If you actually stay on top of it and do everything you're supposed to, no. The people I see compassion the most are the ones who don't put a cover on our treat the pool or swap filters and then piss and moan when they have to vacuum leaves or pull all the algae and so on.

Just like with a house, keep on top of it, or rebuild when the pipes burst.

Now if you'll excuse me. I have a leaky copper pipe I need to go ignore
