Like any time share, good if you plan ahead, actually take time off , and are flexible. Otherwise, the fees will kill you. Personally, I like just booking things as hoc (Airbnb here, hotel there, etc) and last minute so this would never work for me.

I am a fan of Marriott timeshare. Recommend

More cost effective to just rent a room at one when you need. Timeshares really don’t pencil

If you do, buy on the secondary market. Go to RedWeek. The advantage is more after consulting when we don’t have points. If you get a timeshare that is point based that also can moved to hotel points, you will always have way for what feels like hotels points.

Why is it recommended you give a company 2 weeks notice when you are leaving but at the same time, when they are laying you off/firing you, they typically do it on the spot. I have known countless people layed off/fired on the spot over the years (especially after busy season) and everyone else when they leave give 2 week notice. Why should we relinquish power to corporations? Corporations really don't care about us. They pretend they do.
