When searching for the perfect timeshare to spend your vacations, do you ever ask yourself, “Are Timeshares an Archaic Thing of The Past?” Most people would say absolutely yes! Most people would say absolutely yes! With the rise of vacation clubs, Air BNB, hotel and airfare apps, traveling these days is easier and less costly than ever before! “Timeshare” is no longer what it once was. So, why burden yourself with all the baggage that goes with timeshare? Yes – pun intended!
The Reality of Purchasing a Timeshare.
According to Hospitality.net, 32% of timeshare owners wouldn’t purchase another timeshare and nearly 90% of them regret they did so in the first place. They now wonder how to get out of their timeshare ownership so that they can grasp a new modern and affordable way to explore the world. They can also sleep better at night once they find a way to dump their timeshare and not worry about being bombarded with ongoing fees and unexpected expenses due to being an “owner” of a timeshare.
Not only have timeshares lost their value and appeal, they’re just not logical anymore. Why waste money on the cumbersome costs associated with a timeshare once you own one? It costs thousands and thousands of dollars to make the purchase before you’ve even traveled anywhere! If you’ve got a few thousand dollars to spend on a dream vacation (like that weekend in Fiji, or that Alaskan cruise), it’s easier to research your options (via your phone or computer) and invest in a one-time trip! Today, it’s more affordable than ever to travel to exotic places across the world! Plus, you’ve got no rules on when you can go and where you can stay. You can plan ahead or be spontaneous and do what you feel like doing at the time, instead of being given a small option of places to go.
But the reason you’re probably even reading this is because you don’t know how to get rid of that vacation dinosaur of the past, your timeshare. many of you realize that once you are able to put it behind you, then the real dream of adventure in travel can begin. Timeshare needs the boot! It’s obsolete. This makes those who prey on travelers to purchase a timeshare even more desperate to sell you one.
The Manipulation of Timeshare Sales.
I’d also like to address the whole nightmare of the manipulation on how you were burdened with this thing in the first place, sign here, sign there, free this, and free that, all under the auspices of a lavish free meal or adventure. Remember what your parents or grandparents used to say, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch”? I hate to say it; but they’re right! You’d be better going online for a half price meal or an adventure on Groupon, rather than obtaining it through some timeshare salesperson who will lie, cheat and use whatever malicious tactic they can to get you to sign the dotted line and spend ridiculous amounts of your hard earned money on a mainly useless piece of property.
Once You’ve Taken the Bait, Promises Aren’t Kept..
The real true nightmare is once you’re saddled with a timeshare, people often start by dropping twenty, thirty thousand or more for one week a year to participate in their timeshare – if they are even lucky enough to get the dates they hope for. Then there are the mandatory maintenance fees, taxes, the ongoing property maintenance fees if something goes wrong at a property you “own”. Yes “own.” If you really own it, then why can’t it be a tax deduction like your other property taxes? You own houses and cars, but do you really own a timeshare?
These so called deeds or deeded properties are not worth the paper they are supposedly written on. Oh yeah, just think, in the next couple of years, you could own a timeshare in the devastated terrain of Puerto Rico or the volcano ravaged areas of Hawaii – you could easily receive a ten thousand dollar bill or more for repairs any day now. How crazy! You shouldn’t have to spend all that hard earned cash for one or two weeks of a vacation. It’s ridiculous and you know what? It’s wrong in all aspects. It’s got to stop. I haven’t even broached the whole “perpetuity scam” of how your timeshare will burden your loved ones you might want to pass it on to. Don’t do it – get out while you can.

I can’t think of a better word in the English language to describe the rules of timeshare ownership beside appalling and downright evil!
