In this video, I wanted to look at the comparison between buying a second home or using your timeshares as an alternative. I looked at several criteria. How long each year would you stay in your second home, did you always want to go to the same place, whether capital appreciation was critical, etc...

I went under the assumption that the amount of timeshare you would would want to own was equivalent to the maintenance fees associated with a second home. I included recreation center dues in the retirement communities to keep thing comparable from a service perspective. I then provided some analysis of how much you would need to buy for Hilton Grand Vacations or Worldmark (Because I own them).
