Just remember, timeshares really only allow you to vacation in resorts rather than motels or hostels. They do nothing to help you save on airfare, car rentals, activities, travel insurance, or other travel-related costs.
You may just find that accommodations for travel are really only a small fraction of your overall travel budget and expenditures. I like to look at it this way. Owning (or renting) and using a timeshare will simply reduce your travel overall expenses from $5000 to about $4800. Those are just estimates and round figures but I hope you see the point.
So if you feel that owning a timeshare is worth reducing your travel expenses by about 5%, then purchase but tread carefully and do your research.
