Ever Try A Pro Con Test When Buying A Timeshare?

Technology is great. We use it for many wonderful things. Telephones that take pictures, texts that accompany pictures, showing where you are at any given time of day or night, and the list goes on and on.

It occurred to me we should be able to use technology in a helpful way while we discuss the pros and cons of buying a timeshare. Have you ever taken the time to list the reasons why you buy a timeshare? Have you ever tried to weight the Pros and Cons of buying a timeshare? It is an interesting process, and each one of us is different.

First start by identifying what is most important to you. There are a number of "must haves" for a timeshare to be appealing. We were interested in location, water, facilities, safety, convenience, unit size, proximity to list just a few items that are important. Others include restaurants, onsite groceries, "feel" of the place, and attraction for repetitive return visits.

On the other hand, there are a number of reasons for not buying too, not the least of which include the time of life, financial ability to return repeatedly, health, and family matters. Again, there is a whole list factors that lean against buying that we all should consider.

We thought it would be fun to create a Pro Con table. You can try it out by rating factors that are important considerations that support either buying or not buying a timeshare.

The idea is to create your own pros and cons. List them, and give each item a weight in terms of importance. That list and weights becomes a basis for creating an interactive spreadsheet to help you see timeshare purchases in the "cold light of day".

We have created a spreadsheet on Aimfair. At this point it is not interactive. It may be at some point. In the meantime, send us a request for an excel spreadsheet, and it will be on its way. Reach us at infoaboutus at aimfair.com. This offer is extended to Subscribing Members.

Have fun with this.

Cheers!
