My parents have grandchildren now and want to consider time shared (or other options) to bring the family (8ppl) together once a year. They are not wealthy people. Does anyone have suggestions on companies or options to consider? Or is the yearly BnB the best option.

I would never do a time share but maybe I listened to one too many Dave Ramsey episodes on it… I’d def opt for yearly airBnB or hotels as it gives flexibility, and allows for budget adjustments as things change

My parents and siblings (+kids and spouses) get together at least twice a year. There are currently 15-16 of us depending if we are with my dad and stepmother or my mother. I'd suggest airbnb/vrbo/hotels over a timeshare. It gives you better flexibility to plan around ppls schedules. With 7 grandkids in various stages of life (toddler to college) and going to different schools, the only school vacation overlap is usually around Christmas, Thanksgiving, or summer. I imagine with a timeshare it may be harder to schedule for those peak travel times. Doing hotels/airbnb will also give you more flexibility on where to travel and what you can do on your trips.

I’ve got a really good job. Wasn’t looking to move but a big 4 consulting firm reached out. I received a very generous/life changing offer. I’m so worried about work/life balance if I take this offer. Also worried about layoffs in a year or two when the market gets back to normal. I’ve got an infant and a 5 year old. I know that I can manage my current workload. I don’t want to pass up a great opportunity but I’ve got to be available for my family too!
