You may have had a dream of owning your own pool for a long time. No more having to go to the local gym or a public pool! However, you might've also heard that an inground pool install can be very pricey. According to Forbes, you could expect to pay around $35,000, but that price could go as low as $28,000 and as high as $55,000, depending on your choices. How can you knock that price down as low as you can and still get the pool you've envisioned? Here are some things you can do.

Think Vinyl

When it comes to the actual material that the pool is constructed with, you can choose between vinyl, concrete, and fiberglass. Vinyl is the cheapest. Yes, you'll have to replace the liner in about a decade but that's true of concrete and fiberglass, too. You could save a significant amount of money here, with over $100,000 in savings over a concrete pool.

Have a Smaller Pool

This one might dash your dreams of having an Olympic-size pool. You'll save a good amount of money in terms of both labor and materials. You also won't have to pay as much for maintenance. There is a point where even going small for an inground pool install won't save you money, since they still have to dig up the hole and do electrical work, along with landscaping and plumbing. Still, you could save up to $50,000.

Keep the Design Simple

While it might be nice to have additions like sound systems, lights, fountains, extra steps, and an attached hot tub, all of those things cost a lot of extra money. You could see up to $15,000 in savings if you get a really simple pool. Don't worry, just having a private pool is going to be a lot of fun for you and your family!

Getting an inground pool is still an investment but if you're savvy, you can get some savings in the process. You can use those savings in the future for the rest of your backyard!
