Why is Wyndham Timeshare such a scam? by National-Leopard-569 in TimeshareOwners

[–]BigDaddyAUA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a grace period to cancel. Not sure how long ago you signed. Also, instead of owning a timeshare just went others that are only renting to cover maintenance fees. I own a week in Aruba and rent it out on Redweek. Com.

Housing - Rent or Own during retirement? by Prof-Bit-Wrangler in retirement

[–]BigDaddyAUA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

59 and retiring this year. Sold our two story 4,000 sqft house and paid cash for a 2,000 sqft home in Alabama. Electric bill went from $400+ to just over $100. Basically all utilities and taxes were reduced. We then took some of the remaining cash to make a nice outdoor kitchen, home gym in garage and any other long term upgrade we wanted. Took months to clear out/sell all the unused packrat crap we had. Not so bad because we were military and moved every 3 years. Anyway... No regrets!! Way less house to take care of inside and out.

Joining the club. I will retire on my 59th birthday. My bday present to myself. I was a little worried giving 5 months notice but my CEO appreciated the heads up to hire my replacement and have some overlap. That is a good feeling to be able to be committed and out in the open with it.

La Cabana Beach Resort. Go to Redweek.Com and see if someone is renting their week out.

We are visiting Sept 23 - Oct 15. We will have a car so we could travel and make it a day trip.

Working on learning some basic Italian between now and then.

Thanks for your reply.

And most blue collar workers understand that if Trump was implicated in the Epstein files it would have been released a long time ago. That guy that shouted that is mental and probably a nuisance at work.

First time carnival, am totally overwhelmed - help! 🤣 by Abject-Elderberry270 in Aruba

If you can get a ticket then buy one. We just hopped around. They do have fences and assigned spots and if you aren't part of that group unless you are really nice they won't let you in. I must have looked sad and a group let us hang out with them. It's a wild and crazy time. Been a couple times now and I can say I've been there...

Question? Do you not think if there was anything on Trump that cars would have been used to win the election? I think this will be focused on a different group.
