Don't buy one what? Timeshare? I know many people have had horrible experiences with buying and owning timeshares, but that does not necessarily mean for everyone to not buy one.

What is recommended before buying one or even getting one for free is to do research for at least a few months. Take time to analyze your personal and family situation. As well, take time to analyze your personal tastes, needs, and preferences when it comes to traveling. It is also good to research the different systems when it comes to timeshares and do many comparisons.

Of course, many people after analyzing such things will conclude that timeshare ownership is not for them. On the other hand, there are many happy timeshare owners. So to make a general, blanket statement of "Don't buy one" is unfair.
