Springfield resident Dan Reed said he enjoyed his vacation timeshare in Ixtapa, on Mexico s Pacific Ocean coast, for at least 20 years. Loved it, loved everything about it, the 93-year-old told the News-Leader Thursday. The resort added new golf courses and other amenities that increased its value, Reed told the News-Leader. He hosted friends and family members from around the country at his timeshare. They all thoroughly enjoyed it, Reed said.
But nothing lasts forever. Reed said the drug trade in that part of Mexico got so bad that I decided to sell after 20 years because the last couple of years I went down there, they were selling drugs on the street downtown in Zihuatanejo, the municipality where Ixtapa is located.

If a timeshare company ever offers you free tickets to a show, a hotel stay or dinner discounts to attend a “brief” meeting, it’s likely you’re going on a lengthy tour of a timeshare.
There certainly are benefits to having a vacation place to call your own once a year that often comes with an option to trade places nationally or globally. But there are also risks you need to be aware of before making this lifelong commitment.
The effort required, and time spent touring a timeshare while on vacation, to understand what you’re getting into could be better spent simply going on a vacation with no strings attached. And let’s be clear: Timeshares should not be seen as an investment like stocks or a retirement fund plan.
