Re: Timeshares is good investment or not. (by JoyK):

Sorry, but I've got to say that your math is a little screwy. There is something you are not taking into account - yearly fees for the timeshare. Different timeshares have different fees, but I will bet one at Whistler in winter has fairly high fees. Ours are about $950/yr. and all I have to say is, you can get a pretty good hotel room for that money if it is just 2 people. And that doesn't include the fact that if you want to stay elsewhere you have to buy memberships in exchange clubs, pay exchange fees, and the cost (even secondhand) of the timeshare itself. The only reason we have a timeshare is because we were given one by my brother-in-law. Now it is an expense, however at least it forces my husband to go on vacation.
