Went to a timeshare presentation once. Couldn't get out, so played a Dave Ramsey timeshare rant on full volume on my phone. It was a free pass out!

I'll never forget the look of utter despair in the salesman's eyes at the end of the presentation when my dad said he wouldn't be buying. I was 10.

The most common line I use with anything like this (timeshare, car, whatever) is "I don't make big financial decisions like this without sleeping on it".

I’m in sales and went to one of these to get a free vacation. I understand the tactics… safe to say I left without a timeshare and a free vacation 💪🏻

“We have the spiritual gift of confrontation” 😂 I love that - I have that gift too, much to my family’s dismay!

We got out of a timeshare, but had to pay in addition for a lawyer and lost all the money we paid. 25k

The first step is admitting you made the mistake. It sounds like she realized it and is truly trying to fix it. 👍 best of luck to her on it

This is why personal finances should matter to everyone. Screwing yourself over has never been easier than it is today.

*You can try to checkout anytime you like, but you can never leave*
Don Henley and the boys had to be singing about timeshare companies for sure!

I inherited a timeshare from my grandparents. Luckily it was paid off, but I had to pay the maintenance fees which continued to increase. I had to pay a lawyer to get out of the timeshare. It was the best decision I made to get rid of it. And Dave is right, someone ended up buying my timeshare for a $1.

Me and my wife went to one the those meetings and they almost got us. We eventually said no but they kept on sending new presenters until we walked out.

I love going to the presentations and getting free stuff!!! Usually, i'll give them the most vague answers and also once that time limit hits I stand up and tell them its been 60 min.

[GriBlanco]

I got to sit through a 2-hour long complete and utter torture listening to a lady waste my time trying to convince me of buying a time share in Florida. She kept bringing down the price and I very firmly kept saying “NO”! I was so angry because she wouldn’t let me leave for an appointment I had elsewhere. She didn’t win though. I did not give in… THANK GOD! She was fuming when I got up and left! 😏

Please send someone from Ramsey into a time share meeting and just have them be annoying as can be haha. That would be hilarious.

[SOJTV]

Get Project Veritas on this one .. 😜👏 … actually watching Ken Coleman with hidden cameras & mic would be amazing ..Do it Ken ! 😇 👏👏

[gavinv]

Great work, Kenneth, with your corduroy, sleek-looking oxford.

[takeitback-financial]

The volume change on Dave as soon as he hears “Timeshare” 😆

[DJ-ixgf]

Omg! Please send Ken! I’ve always wanted to see inside one of those meetings.

[eurekahope]

We stayed at a time share condo for less than the maintenance fees. We happened to find a deal for a week and talked to a time share owner. He was so disheartened to hear that we paid far less for the week than he pays for in yearly dues for his week. Cheaper trip and no loan or commitment!

After my husband said his final NO to the salesman, the young man was still forced to show us the rooms as that was part of the pitch. He wasn’t very happy about it.
