<prompt> Human: So, it looks like we have decided to add a pool to our home! This will be the first time we have used a Home Equity loan to pay for something, and to be honest, I dont know what I dont know...Is there anything other people have figured out the hard way after using a home equity loan to finance a new pool? Is a home equity loan even the best option?Were pretty set on the pool idea, so I dont really need advice on that... just the financial optionsimplicationsissues.Thanks in advance for your responses!  <response>: Is a home equity loan even the best option?This is a math question, and this post has no math. If you dont have enough equity in your home, this might not be an option at all.
