I heard an ad on the radio the other day about a law firm that helps people get out of timeshares. I wondered to myself… who the heck is still doing timeshares? I’ve never met one person who’s part of one, I’ve never seen an ad asking me to get into one, and the only commercials I’ve ever seen in the last million years about timeshares are the ones offering to help people get out of them.
If getting out of them is such a common need, how horrible they must be! If I had to make a guess before I Google it, I’d say that timeshares is something that will die off with older generations. No one my age (45) is doing timeshares that I know of. I would be extremely shocked if Gen Z or the people ages 20 to 30 have even an inkling of interest in timeshares. All I’ve ever heard is that it’s a nightmare to be part of one. And expensive.
*Googling it now*
OK wow. I’m shocked by what this USAToday.com article says.
Maybe the bad reputation timeshares have with Boomers and Gen X isn’t transcending to Gen Z and Millennials. That’s crazy. But in that article, it says that timeshares have expanded to include more than just one location every year. So if it can change and adapt as time goes by, I guess people will continue to see the benefits. Well, I’m surprised by what I discovered, I figured timeshares would become a relic of generations gone by but it looks like they’re taking on a new life with the young’ns.

Interested. I wonder how that works with different locations…isn’t that just a hotel? Hmm

Definitely interesting that the industry has adapted to gen z and millenials. But yeah, it does sound like a hotel chain situation.
