Rent? Buy? Share?…Timeshare!

Well, timeshare has been around a long time. Jesus was born in the very first AirBnB that I have ever heard of and it was actually a kind of timeshare arrangement.

When traveling, its obviously more efficient to rent a hotel room while on the road. You would not want to buy a home or condo in each town you stayed in while traveling …makes not sense. Sometimes it is necessary to rent a car for special situations, if yours is in the shop or when traveling. Would not want to buy a car for each of those occurrences. This brings me to my late Father’s old axiom, “Boys, remember the Four Fs and life will be easy”. What are the Four Fs….?

My Dad said this to my three brothers and myself when we were all home from college one summer and I brought up that I was about to close on a small condo in Ruidoso, NM. A humble, mountain cottage but my first “second home”. My older brother then chimed in, “well I am buying a quarter horse and looking for a good riding saddle.” One of my younger brothers then offered that he had just bought a half interest in a ski boat to keep on Lake Austin and the youngest brother then said, “I just finished my pilot training & have found a nice, six seat, Cessna for sale.” Our Father just sat and stared at us for the longest time… then said, “Don’t you ladies remember the Four Fs of life?” He proceeded to remind us that “if you are thinking of buying something that Floats, Flys, Fornicates or is Far away, rent it don’t buy it! ”

Well timeshare solves my Dad’s dilemma for one of the Fs. While planes still need extreme maintenance, boats need constant attention and horses need food, vets and training, timeshare continues to solve the idea of owning a vacation, even in Far away places. And it is efficient, maintained and exchangeable to almost anywhere in the world.
