Sad Sad day

[Muushka]

We had built up too much of a debt load. About a year and half ago we started working hard on bringing down the debt. Things were going ok. Interest rates went up, and I took a temporary 5% cut in pay. Between both of those factors, we were back on the bubble. The decision to sell DVC was tough only in that we love Disney.


That said, our debt was self inflicted. We were living beyond our means. Today, we pay strictly by cash, and only get something when we save for it.


We bought this timeshare for cash through The Timeshare Store, and they sold it for us. The Timeshare Store did a great job of selling it for us in a short period of time. When things are all paid off, we will evaluate whether to buy back in or not. I am confident that we would work with The Timeshare Store at that time.


Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

Difficult words to admit, even more difficult to write. I wish good things for you, mostly, financial security.
But I have a feeling you will have no problems in the future.

Don't look at it as "goodbye", Jason. View it as more of a "see ya later".
The great thing about Disney is that you can use it as motivation!! A goal to work towards. make sure you drop in on the boards now and then for some fun.

Be well!

Sometimes we have to close a door in order to open up a better one and that is often a very difficult thing to do, you had to make a tough decision and you've made the right one so I hope you can find comfort in that and surely things will keep getting better for you. DVC will be around for a long time so you have the opporunity to come back to it again.

Best wishes & peace

Good for you for facing a tough choice and making the decision to sell for all the right reasons.

My very best wishes to you and your family.

I'm sure this realization was tough to make. Congratulations on making good financial decisions to benefit you and your family. DVC will be here when you're ready to come back! Good luck
