Just because no one else understands - I had to post this here.
My husband agreed to buy into DVC about 4 years ago. We found a nice 100 point resale. Of course, I wanted more, but don't like debt - and this contact had 100 banked points -so it felt huge for a year! Last summer - I did a 50 point add on through Disney - so now we have 150 points at BWV. We are a family of 3.5 - me, DH, DD7 and DSD (step) 13. My stepchild can only make it to half of the trips (due to custody arrangments)- so I count us as 3.5! Therefore, we just do studios and those work fine. We go in off season (January) - and that saves points too. But, we usually end up bringing another family and renting a studio for them as well - so I am always in borrow mode.
My husband enjoys our trips - but always mentions "Shouldn't we go someplace else this year?" My DD7 and I both scream "No!"
Long story long... (yes, I can't get to the point...) - last weekend, my husband asked me out of the blue "How many DVC points do we need to really have enough?" Since my birthday was that week - I was freaking out thinking that maybe he bought me some points for my b-day! The truth is - he did not - but the fact that he suggested we consider buying more just made me SOOOO happy! Maybe he does enjoy the trips more than I thought!
I told him we should get through this year (taxes, Christmas etc) and save up some cash for another add-on next year. He was in full agreement - so I am just SO excited!
Now the question is... re-sale/add-on at BWV or new purchase at AKV?
Anyway, I just knew Dis'ers would understand this. No one else really does - not even my DH - but at least he loves me and is willing to go along for the DVC ride!!!
