Hi All-
I recently took a trip down to Orlando and stayed at the Vistana Villages...I enjoyed it so much that I decided to buy a timeshare. I bought a 2 bedroom lock off. My intention was not to use it in Orlando so much as the other places that looked appealing to me. However, now I'd like some input on what kind of deal this was. I have been reading this thread among other things and I really don't know.
I bought this with the mindset that I will have it forever, it can make going to very expensive areas of the world more affordable, and it is a flexible plan. I would look on the SPG website and see $500-900 a night in the Carribean or Scottsdale and think that would be way too much for me, but I can buy a timeshare now and it would become more doable especially many years from now well after I finished paying it off (minus fees). I am in my late 20's and I don't have a large family yet...so I figured if I bought now and paid it off by my mid 30's I would have a lifetime to enjoy it and really get bang for my buck...so I bought it more-so as a long term investment to make really nice vacations realistic for years to come. Could I get some thoughts on this?? I assume many of you are much more seasoned than myself, so any input would be greatly appreciated, and will help me decide whether to keep it or hold off for a little while. Thanks so much.
