Timeshare Ownership or Resort Amenities Without The Costs

March 23rd, 2009

Which Makes The Most Sense To YOU?

The fun associated with a great resort for a great and memorable vacation or do you want to “own” the resort (timeshare) hoping for the same results. Having been on both sides of the fence, I can truly say that enjoying a fun-filled vacation at a luxurious resort or condominium without the ownership hassles of timeshare ownership** is the best.

** To me, timeshare ownership is definitely one of the poorest, if not the worst, real estate transaction that anyone can purchase. The problem is at least three-fold.

(1) You tie up $ thousands in the original purchase (that you could spend incrementally on independent vacations at your discretion)

(2) You get hit with assessment and maintenance fees each year that always increase and continue forever (like these fees are passed on to your children as part of your estate. No kidding! The perpetual timeshare contract never ends.)

AND
(3) If you want to sell your timeshare and get out from under the perpetual and growing expense, you will find that you have to pay someone to buy it from you.
( Caution on selling your timeshare: Be very wary of companies who offer to sell your timeshare where they advertise it for you for an upfront fee. My experience is that these can be costly scams; at least I know of two that were from personal experience. )

NOTE: Even if you do have to pay someone to buy your timeshare there is a benefit that you will realize over time. You see, you will be selling your ‘timeshare real estate property’ at a loss, a long-term loss that you can deduct off your taxes overtime. (Please consult with your tax adviser how to best take these deductions.)

Enough of my rantings about all the bad things associated with Timeshare Ownership. What are the good things about timeshares, or more importantly, the resort/condo in the exotic location?

The good things are the wonderful places you get to visit and all the fun you get to enjoy and the memories that linger a lifetime. So… enjoying the world and enjoying a fun-filled vacation at a world class resort or condominium is certainly a wonderful thing.

If you don’t own a timeshare, the alternative is to “own the resort or condo by renting it” with all the benefits and amenities of an owner. Yes, you can rent these wonderful timeshares without being a owner and you can do so with all the benefits with none of the financial and emotional hassles.

There are several travel related firms that offer this and related services and I recommend that you shop around and find the one that meets your needs. In my case, I discovered that Quest Travel Network in conjunction with Hemisphere Travel has more resorts and condominiums and vacation and travel offerings than any other travel-related company.
I liked what I found so I became a member of the Quest Travel Network so that I can enjoy wonderful, fun-filled travel with my family and friends over and over again; and in addition…be able to help and show other folks how to do the same.

Which Do You Like Best? Own a Timeshare or ENJOY ALL THE BENEFITS Without the Hassles?

Cashing In Ideas to Make Money- Trade Stock Options

December 14th, 2008

Having looked at a number of ideas for making money, the one that I have found that works over and over again is to trade stock options.  Even in the crazy market where most stocks, and the like, have tanked to values less than the asset value of the individual companies, money can and is made each and every day.

The key requires some training (not too difficult really) and the ability to look at a picture and see that history repeats itself over and over again.  You just need to know where the market, or individual stock is priced, and be prepared for it to find a common home (price point(s) that the mega market makers like trading the stock) and then just trading with the flow to the respective price point(s).  The significant price points are called Support and Resistance in the trading community.

These Support and Resistance price points / price areas are like the rungs on a ladder.   You climb the ladder or you step down the ladder.  This is certainly an over-simplification; however, understanding this can result in you achieving immense financial rewards.

Can You Visualize the Steps of a Ladder?  If you can, You Can Be Successful in the stock market.

Use Your Ideas To Pay Your $175,000 Tax Burden…And Get A Life!

March 2nd, 2008

Think about it!   I know I certainly did when I read the following in the Birmingham News this morning:

“Taxes Expected To Rise with National Debt, Aging”

- If you’re grumbling about the size of your tax bill this year, brace yourself.  Many financial advisers predict that tax rates are going to rise to cover the escalating. burden of an aging population and the federal debt. By KATHERINE REYNOLDS LEWIS Newhouse News Service WASHINGTON

This was the headline and the article’s lead-in first paragraph.  Obviously, it is an attention getter.   Some additional eye-openers in Ms. Lewis’ article include:

Each American’s share of the federal government’s unfunded obligations amounts to $175,000 - comparable to a home mortgage with no collateral, said Stuart Butler, a vice president at the Heritage Foundation.”

“To cover the gap between expected revenue and the cost of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security benefits through 2Q50, income tax rates would have to almost double, according to a July 2007 analysis by the Congressional Budget Office.”

“Of course, the government probably would reduce promised benefits and increase payroll taxes rather than solely boosting the income tax. Still, it seems likely many Americans eventually will refer to the current income tax structure as “the good old days.” And who exactly:   would pay higher taxes?”

Ms. Lewis later suggested a partial solution…

“Take a long-term approach and save aggressively.”   She clarified that by referencing…

“People need to set aside as much as they can,”  said Tom Papanikolaou, chief operating officer of Pension Builders and Consultants in Cleveland.

Yes, taking a long-term approach and saving aggressively makes sense.   The issue is that most of us don’t have extra funds to set aside to pay our normal daily expenses, much less, pay a burdening tax bill.  Duhhh….

So, now what?  To me, the answer is as simple as going to your nearest mirror and looking into it.   There you see the answer…it’s YOU.   You are the answer to taking a long-term approach and saving aggressively.  The mirror shows you the solution each and every day!

Of course, the mirror cannot hand over financial well-being,  however,  it does show you where to find the solution.  The solution is between your ears!  It is your skills, your experience(s), your hobbies, your knowledge, your ideas that you possess.   All you need to do is to share those possessions with others and your financial concerns will end,  ..and a new future will begin.

Take control of YOU!

Are You Going To Turn Your Ideas Into An Income?

What Would You Do If You Could Cash In Your Ideas For One Million $Dollars?

February 25th, 2008

I got to thinking about this after having read an article in this past weekend’s Parade Magazine (www.parade.com). The article was titled What I Did With My First Million by Cindy Adams. It dealt with a group of celebrities and what they did with their 1st million dollars. All of them seemed to go out and buy something a little extravagant (except maybe Matt Lauer who was concerned about ‘job security’)**, but within their new means.

** Can you relate with this?

Go to  www.RetiredBeforeYourTime.com as Matt is not alone.

The article really got me thinking about what I would do with a major jump in my annual income.

Hey, we’re talking a Million $Dollars. That’s 7 figures.     $1,000,000.

In my case, the absolute first major thing that I would do (after taking my wife out on a much deserved, long overdue vacation trip) would be to “pay off most of my credit card debts”. I would do this as most credit card debt (or other revolving debt) is the Biggest Drain on most Everyone’s Pocketbook and daily livelihood.

Getting rid of this money dump is a direct pay increase to you. Paying off the debt will free up your mind, free up your emotion well-being, and will change your entire perspective of life.    Just think about it for a moment!

If you did not have any income draining debts, how much money would you have to do the things you have always dreamed about?

Would it be $1,000/month?, Maybe $3,000?, or maybe $4,000 per month? (Wow! $4,000 per month— That’s $48,000 per year.)    Wouldn’t it be great to have this kind of additional income coming into your household?

Getting Rid of Credit Card Debt is the first thing most of us should do with new income!

You’re probably saying, “Oh, this sounds great, but how do you get the money to pay off the debts?”
I think the best way is to use your ideas, skills, experiences and knowledge to create a supplemental income. Yes, that includes YOU!
