You may not realize just how much money you’ll be saving in the long run. With maintenance fees at around $200 a month, you’ll have an extra $2,400 *every* year to do with as you please! Here are just a few of the ways you could use that money. 1. **Work on your swing.** Why not join a country club? After the one-time initiation costs, it’s likely your monthly fee will be less than your old pool maintenance charge. Perhaps you could invest your extra dough in a few drinks at the bar. 2. **Discover Hawaii.** Start an annual tradition of a week-long trip to the Aloha state. Packages for your hotel and flight will run you between $800 and $2000, so you may even be able to bring along a friend. Visit the volcanoes, go hula dancing, enjoy a luau, catch a wave, or just relax by the ocean.  Why not visit a different island every year? 3. **Plan a monthly spa day.** Relieve your stress from the work week, or get a break from those screaming kids. A nice massage or body wrap will help you feel your best, and why not try a facial, so you *look* your best, too? With a budget of $200 a month, you can go to town! 4. **Learn to fly a plane. **While costs vary depending on your region, flight school costs between $3,000 and $4,000 to complete, so throw that money you’re saving in an account and, in less than two years time, you’ll be ready to get in the cockpit, enjoying life among the clouds. 5. **Go on a second honeymoon. **Didn’t have the budget to do what you wanted the first time? Now you do! Visit the Venice canals in Italy. Take a safari in Africa. Enjoy fine French dining in Paris. The world’s your oyster! 6. **See the Super Bowl live.** In 2010, tickets for the big game went for anywhere from $1,350 to $315,401. Sure, you’ll be on the lower end of the range, but you’ll still get to see the action in person. 7. **Buy a home entertainment system.**  How great would a 60” screen look in your living room? What about a surround sound system to go along with it?  Get the experience of the movie theater right in your own home. 8. **Learn to play the guitar.** Who doesn’t secretly want to be a rock start? Now’s your chance. For a few hundred dollars, you can invest in a nice Martin or Fender, and then spend the rest of the money on lessons from a professional. Okay, you might just save the extra cash in an emergency fund, pay down credit card debt, or invest it for your child’s college education, but now you have a sense of just [how much](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/bid/55263/Factors-that-affect-pool-removal-cost) money you are throwing away on a pool you rarely use.  [Let us help you take the leap](https://www.diganddemo.com/swimming-pool-removal/)!     Tags: [remove pool](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/remove-pool), [Swimming Pool Backfill](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/swimming-pool-backfill), [cost to remove a swimming pool](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/cost-to-remove-a-swimming-pool), [8 ways to spend the money you save removing your p](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/8-ways-to-spend-the-money-you-save-removing-your-p), [cost to remove pool](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/cost-to-remove-pool), [cost to demlish a swimming pool](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/cost-to-demlish-a-swimming-pool), [backfill pool](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/backfill-pool), [Swimming Pool Removal](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/swimming-pool-removal), [demolish pool](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/demolish-pool), [pool demolition](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/pool-demolition), [excavate pool](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/excavate-pool), [pool removal](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/pool-removal), [Swimming Pool Demolition](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/swimming-pool-demolition), [swimming Pool removal cost](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/swimming-pool-removal-cost), [save money remove pool](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/save-money-remove-pool) ### Subscribe by Email ### Latest Posts ### Browse by Tag - [8 ways to spend the money you save removing your p (1)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/8-ways-to-spend-the-money-you-save-removing-your-p) - [abandoned pool (1)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/abandoned-pool) - [backfill pool (6)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/backfill-pool) - [cost to demlish a swimming pool (2)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/cost-to-demlish-a-swimming-pool) - [cost to remove a swimming pool (6)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/cost-to-remove-a-swimming-pool) - [cost to remove pool (6)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/cost-to-remove-pool) - [demolish pool (8)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/demolish-pool) - [equipment used in removing pool (1)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/equipment-used-in-removing-pool) - [excavate pool (7)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/excavate-pool) - [how to remove pool (2)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/how-to-remove-pool) - [mosqitoes (1)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/mosqitoes) - [pool demolition (7)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/pool-demolition) - [pool removal (7)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/pool-removal) - [remove pool (8)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/remove-pool) - [remove swimming pool (2)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/remove-swimming-pool) - [safe pool removal (2)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/safe-pool-removal) - [save money remove pool (6)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/save-money-remove-pool) - [standing water (1)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/standing-water) - [Swimming Pool Backfill (9)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/swimming-pool-backfill) - [Swimming Pool Demolition (8)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/swimming-pool-demolition) - [swimming pool demolition cost (4)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/swimming-pool-demolition-cost) - [Swimming pool effect on value of home (4)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/swimming-pool-effect-on-value-of-home) - [Swimming Pool Removal (9)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/swimming-pool-removal) - [swimming Pool removal cost (5)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/swimming-pool-removal-cost) - [swimming pool removal vs. repair (7)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/swimming-pool-removal-vs-repair) - [west nile virus (1)](https://www.diganddemo.com/blog/topic/west-nile-virus) ### Follow Me [![pool-removal-estimate](https://www.diganddemo.com/hs-fs/file-17370043-png/images/estimate.png?width=175&height=178&name=estimate.png)](https://www.diganddemo.com/get-an-estimate/) ### © 2026 DIG & DEMO - ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
