Re: Buying timeshares (even resale) (by Sandra K.):

sure jayjay,but I have to agree w. this previous poster's comments,in my case:

>>>>>When you don't own a timeshare, you are more likely to skip vacation for a few years because you could use the money on something else. Owning a timeshare (at a resonable rate) forces 'us' to invest in family and take a vacation. Not to mention, having a deed to the property that can be handed down to the next generation and so on. You eventually will get back your investment and then some.<<<<< -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...my husb. is a workaholic,and thus ownership will force him/us to enjoy a week away,which otherwise might not happen.also,the maintenance fee is just a small monthly payment,so when that week comes up,there is nothing else to pay for.we can just pack and leave.it's a fixed week,and so we know exactly when to schedule.and as above,it's something I want to pass on to my children;a decent,family resort and a scheduled time to go on vacation every yr,for just a small fee every month.I guess ppl have different reasons for buying,but I wish my family had passed an opportunity like that on to me.
