“Do you have concrete research on this??
I am on a very tight budget, but saw several catergories that I have bought things from and have no regret”

I think the point is many of these items can bring regret, not that they always do.

I use my treadmill every day. I live in a rainy part of California and like watching TV while exercising every morning.

Agreed – Timeshares are THE WORST, and (MOST) everyone knows that!
My husband had on from his “ex” and had to “PAY” to TRANSFER THE DEED BACK TO company, once she decided she no longer wanted it, of course!

Please link me the study that sites the 84% satisfaction. My guess that it would have been taken by current timeshare owners that are up to date on all their payments and have utilized their timeshare in the past year (and probably conducted by a timeshare company rather than a independent group). That is a very skewed pool to get the information from. People don’t become dissatisfied with timeshares until they can’t use them for some reason and want to sell — and can’t. I would love to see the study that proves me wrong, but I highly doubt that it was taken from a true sampling of timeshare owners. The fact that timeshare reseller scams exist (and are a top BBB problem) shows that there are a lot of owners stuck with timeshares they don’t want and can’t get out of.

Your comments on timeshare are WRONG. It is NOT true that most people who own a timeshare wish they had never bought it. Where did you get this information from? While timeshare is not a financial investment and it is not for everyone, timeshare enjoys a 84% satisfaction rate.

We don’t sell timeshares, but we believe in telling the truth. Your article does nothing but perpetuate falsehoods.

You are right. Many of these things are bad purchase ideas, but I have found some good Ebay deals from time to time.

I have a gym membership, but no contract (never had a contract for a gymn membership? Of course, I am anti-contract). But, that said, the article clearly stated it was a waste of money “if you never use it.” I think we can all agree with that sentiment.

Where I live, the #1 regret would be buying a home. Lots of regrets there…
