Is it just me, or does anyone else find this entire thread to be...shall we say... rather pretentious?

I guess I never thought of it that way. I certainly wouldn't expect anyone to be impressed even if I had 2000 points (which I don't). I think for the most part, people are just proud they own DVC. We just sold a contract of 25 points to first time owners. Hopefully, they'd be just as proud to post about their points as people with big numbers.

You're likely not the only one to feel the thread is pretentious, though I don't find the question OR the answers pretentious at all. It was a simple question, with straight-forward answers. I've had no jealous fits after reading of someone with more points than I, nor have I felt superior to someone with fewer, and could care less what username is associated with what response. Still, even though it's not statistically accurate, I've read with interest, as I'm curious as to how many points people feel they need, where they've chosen them, and why. As I see it, it's not a "contest" -- just an interesting insight.

No....but, I do think it is fun!! I LOVE to see where people own, how many points at each resort (and no, I am not one of them that own at several...just one for us), and most importantly WHY they own the number of points at each.

We're doing okay with the number of points we have...I mean I would LOVE to have more....but, I am really happy (and, a bit jealous) for everyone who has more than me. But, I also realize life is full of choices. We could have more points if we had a smaller house, older cars, didn't go out so much, put my dd in fewer activities, etc, etc, etc. I think that is true for everyone.

I never really thought this thread was more pretentious than any of the "Who's going in (name the month here)" threads. Obviously, some people can plan to stay longer than other...but, that doesn't make the thread pretentious.

BTW....we have added on over the years, and I was just as proud to have fewer points as I am to have what I have now. My mom has 50 VWL points...she is SOOO stinkin' proud that she tells everyone. She would like to have maybe 15 more points and she is DONE!!! She only stays in studios (it's just her and my stepdad), and 65 points would give her 5-6 nights in a studio....that is ALL she wants, and she considers any more to be "wasteful" (although, she does come once a year as our guest).

I think Mary Poppins said it best..."Enough is as good as a feast"! If you have what you want, you are rich...whether it is 50 points or 5000 points. To own any DVC points at all is such a blessing!!

[ctrabada]

210 SSR and we just added 120 at the new rate... total 330! Would love to add more, but we'll wait until the next property rolls around...

 

[joksten2000]

Just purchased 250 at SSR so now have a 1,000. Just couldn't pass up the great deal The extra 12 years sold me over buying a resale.

Nope....just think it is fun and interesting to see what others have done.

 

[nestlejean]

I think it's interesting to see the number of points people have. I also think it proves that DVC is addicting to many people. I have to say I am suprised at the posts. So many people with so many points and many at different resorts. I am in the minority here. We have only 150 BWV and just sold 50 VB. It's getting harder to get to Disney with our kids at the ages they are right now and the money issue. I considered selling BWV also but hate to. We love it there. I even considered buying SSR at the current special but slapped myself back to reality. We sold VB because time and money were issues so...why buy more right now? It is addicting though.... and tempting..... slap, slap, slap!!!!

 

[fireplug]

230 BWV
100 VB
And

[GGOOFY1]

275 OKW (2 separate contracts)

 

[Patricia721]

We have 160 points at SSR. It's just the right amount for us. My husband has his own business so vacation time is scarce. Our "main" vacation each year is two weeks in Key West. I wanted DVC to treat our two grandsons to a gramma and grampa vacation! Right now, they're too little for that (2 yrs 4 mos and 4 mos) so I'm using the points for F&W! Quite clever, I thought!

 

[lenshanem]

I don't care if people know how many points we own. I'm happy to have points. There is always gonna be someone out there with more.

Sometimes I think we're stupid to have DVC with the price of dues, etc. To be honest if we didn't have DVC we probably wouldn't be going as often and we'd be staying in mods instead of deluxes. We're really not saving money here!

But, my Mom said to me she thought it was smart. (I was almost embarrassed when I told them we bought.) They bought land in the mountains they were gonna build a cabin on years ago and never did. They still pay dues on it and it has been for sale forever. At least we're using ours. They have even been contemplating buying DVC themselves.

We originally bought 150 at BCV and IMMEDIATELY realized it was not enough and bought another 50. A few years later we seriously regretted not buying at our love VWL so we added 60 there. 200 at BCV will get us a two bedroom for five nights during the summer when our kids grow up and 60 at VWL will get hubby and I five nights in a studio during the winter. Sounds good! Course, right now we're about a year borrowed out...

I would like to buy another 40 at VWL so we can give the girls an even split of 150 points each when we get old.

Sooo,
200 BCV
60 VWL
260 points - wanting 40 VWL more
