above ground pool
Well the wife and kids suckered me into getting them a above ground pool this weekend went to Walmart and picked up a 22ft round pool, here is to hoping it lasts a while and doesn't spring a leak....oh and I bet my water bill will be high as hell this month

Get a salt water generator and it'll help with chemical costs

They told me they didn't recommend make it a salt water pool, but that was probably so they could sell me more chemicals

I got the same thing on sale last summer. So far it's been great. I didn't want to drop the coin on an in ground because we don't plan on staying in this home. I was sick of being so damn hot. The size really isn't an issue for us, it's great to just relax in, and the cost are minimal. We had an issue with the pump after a couple months but they (not Walmart) warrantied it with no issues. We really enjoy having something to get in. In hindsight I should have spent more time leveling it, we kinda have a deep and shallow end now haha, but I was covered in grass clippings and in a hurry haha.
