A well managed one, bought at the right time (long ago) for the right price and reasonable fees (ie, what you pay every year whether you use it or not, what you have to spend in order to actually use your week, trade it to another location or time slot, sublease a week, etc), in the right location (beach, skiing area, etc) could pay off many years down the road.... IF it is a place you want to go to at the same time every year. With the same people as neighbors every year as well. Not my cup of tea for a vacation. If there was someplace I liked so much and had the disposable income I'd buy something and use it more often, or create my own timeshare to sell to suckers.
