Perceptions can be wrong, but it seems to me that there are a lot of threads that contain a fair amount of negativity and caution for why you shouldn't purchase a DVC contract.
I bought 325 points last summer (resale/SSR w 25 points direct for member benefits), and I've already used points last September, am going again this next September, and have plans to go back in March of 2018.
So, purchasing has definitely encouraged me to go more regularly to a place that I love, and stay at nicer resorts.
In September we will get to do the after hours at Animal Kingdom for DVC members, the special DVC Soarin' behind the scenes tour, and we got discounts on our annual passes and we will get a discount on Not So Scary as well as all merchandise. Plus we will get to take advantage of Epcot member's lounge and TOTWL.
So, I feel like I can afford it, and really don't care if it's the best "investment" or not, some things in life are worth it just for the joy factor.
I just wanted to put this out there as a positive testimonial for those that are considering purchasing.
