Here's yet another sign that the economy can't be as bad as the pundits seem to think.

Westgate Timeshare Resorts reported that their sales were up 22 percent in June. In fact, they posted a record sales week in July with $33 million in sales!

Westgate Resorts, based in Orlando Florida, is the largest privately held timeshare developer in North America.  Many other timeshare developers are reporting sales growth as well. If luxury properties are being sold in record numbers to mostly "middle class" America, it is hard to conclude that this country is in a recession or heading for one. After looking at this phenomena you would have to conclude that either 1 - People are recklessly plunging themselves into debt, or 2 - Baby boomers are leading the way into this growth with their accumulated wealth.

So the growth of Westgate timeshare sales should not be surprising. People can create a "work around" solution when it comes to juggling expenses in order to make room in their budget for family vacation travel.  That is also partly because our generation (that is, boomers) value leisure time and time spent with family.
