Topic: Timeshares? Posted: Jul 10 2014 at 4:51pm |
Does anyone here own a timeshare? Or have any experiences (good or bad) with them? My SO and I went to a presentation and was thinking about buying one.

how does it work? |
You pay to share ownership of a condo or vacation spot, so you can visit it at a select time every year, like a week or so. Then after buying it you pay annual maintenance fees. So for example, you pay $18,000 for the condo and then $800 annually for 20 years for maintenance. It's a money pit. Don't do it.

18,000! And they try to tell you that you spend much more on hotels if you total it up for x amount of years, but who wants to vacation in the same place every year? I guess people in the hamptons, but lake havasu or lake Tahoe? Please.
