True Confessions

As far as time shares my ex wife and I attended a seminar actually a sales pitch decades ago. We crunched the numbers and it turned out that in my opinion, our opinion, it was ridiculously restrictive and expensive. That being said in defence of the Gipper anything that you purchase that brings you happiness is worth the money regardless of anybody else's opinion.

My youngest brother was a pilot for a private airplane business flying customers all over the world. He would more often than not leave the plane in some locations for the next crew and then fly home on regular airlines as a passenger at company expense. But his company allowed them to keep any airline miles they earned, which was quite significant. So buying one time share on Kauai and another on Oahu made a lot of sense so they could go two weeks to the Hawaiian Isles yearly on vacation on their free airline miles. He had enough accumulated that they continued to do so well past his retirement date. So for them it made sense, but when I checked it out it did not since they can up those extraneous fees any time they want for whatever amount they want. I decided it was better to save that initial cost and just use it to go anywhere I wanted any time I wanted and not risk higher annual fees stacked on top of initial costs.

Hey I guess it could make sense to somebody that needs to stay somewhere frequently in a specific location if it's cheaper and more convenient than a hotel. I don't guess that's the main use of time shares though. For us it was just a matter of crunching the numbers and finding out it be a lot cheaper to stay in a motel.
