If you look at only the financials, probably not, especially if the only resorts in consideration are the high-end, pricey, Marriotts.
For me, vacation quality, locations, amenities, having a plan over a year in advance, etc., make it worth it. Has it been worth it financially? Well, no, because we probably would not have taken vacations, and certainly not in such fine accomodations or exotic locations. We'd be camping, most likely, or bunking on couches of relatives. More likely, staying home to paint the house or clean out the garage. Is that better? No. Would that save money? Yes.
If I could go back in time would I undo our first purchase? NO WAY. I'm a healthier, happier person now that I've recovered from workaholism.
