Isn't time share nothing more then paying for something that in turn costs you more every year and worst can never get rid of since no one else wants it either?
Yes. I'd love to own the building and sell timeshares to other people though though. It seems like legal stealing.
Imagine if you paid for a timeshare with an early 401k withdrawal; money that's been taxed and penalized. It's like tripling down on a losing bet.

In fairness, the $50k credit card guy and 99 exemption guy are two different people. I think the 99 exemption guy had about $15k in credit cards. I'm excited to see how it all plays out. He was born overseas and has a house where he's from. I'm betting on him leaving the country before the tax man comes.
He once told me that his truck payment is $1,000/mo. I asked him what the interest rate is, but he doesn't know. I bet he got taken by one of those buy-here-pay-here places. The one locally is usually at 19% and has the occasional "sale" at 14.9%. I think it's a 2011 Sequoia Limited.
$50,000 auto loan for 6 years at 15% is about $1,000/mo. Yikes.
