It's a very useful exercise to keep track of the cost of vacations--doing so would make most timeshare owners quite content about the purchase they made, IMHO. And then there's a lot of incalculable benefits....Like, ever try to get a group of friends to go in on a condo rental with you, sometime somewhere? Everybody's like, Sure...but then it never happens. Instead tell them, Hey, I've got this condo at this place during this time, wanna come? People are more likely to get on board--you'll find grateful friends will even then pick up the tab for things like groceries, a rental car, etc. For me, facilitating the bringing together of friends/family for awesome vacations that they otherwise would not take has been one of the greatest joys I have experienced as a timeshare owner.
