Did anyone see Suze Orman's "Can I Afford It" segment last night?
I doubt the Disney Vacation Club is happy with the free publicity they got.
A couple earning ~$145K/yr with no credit card debt asked Suze about a timeshare purchase at the DVC. Split screen with DVC and pricing info on one side; Suze shaking her head "no" on the other side.
Her actual response was "yes" and "no" - "yes", they had the finances to proceed with the purchase, but "no", timeshares are a foolish investment.
Lots of issues never discussed in this piece of a short segment, the most obvious counterpoint being that Suze conflated a luxury purchase with an investment. But at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. The take-away message was that timeshares in general are a bad place to spend your money, with DVC in particular highlighted.
