Another month is ending. The calendar is about to flip. And if you’re a timeshare owner, that means one thing: another bill is on its way.
You didn’t use it last month. You probably won’t use it next month either. But the maintenance fees? Those don’t care.
June is one of the best months on the calendar – longer days, summer energy, fresh starts. So why start it dragging the weight of a contract you never wanted?
This week, we’re doing something a little different. Instead of a warning, we’re offering a mirror. Let’s look honestly at what keeping your timeshare is actually costing you — and what walking into June free could look like.
The Bill That Arrives Whether You Show Up or Not
Maintenance fees average $1,000–$1,500 per year — and they go up every year, regardless of whether you ever set foot at the resort. The American Resort Development Association (ARDA) tracks average fee increases at 4–6% annually. That’s faster than most wages grow and faster than most people plan for.
If you bought a timeshare in 2015 paying $900/year in fees, you’re likely paying over $1,300 now. By 2030, that climbs closer to $1,600 — and you still don’t get to decide if the pool gets renovated or whether they add a spa you’ll never use.

You’re Not Bad With Money. You Were Sold Something Designed to Be Hard to Leave.
The timeshare sales pitch is one of the most refined high-pressure systems in the consumer world. Eight-hour presentations. Free gifts with conditions. “Today only” pricing. Upgrade workshops that feel like traps. You were sold to by professionals.
That’s not a character flaw. That’s what the industry designed. Recognizing it doesn’t make you naive — it makes you clear-eyed.
The owners we speak with every day are smart, hardworking people who were sold a dream and ended up with a contract. The shame doesn’t belong to them. And the exit doesn’t have to be out of reach.

What June Could Look Like Without It
Let’s make this concrete. Here’s what the average timeshare owner pays over 10 years in maintenance fees alone:
| Timeframe | Estimated Total Fees Paid |
| 1 year | $1,000–$1,500 |
| 5 years | $5,500–$8,500 |
| 10 years | $12,000–$20,000+ |
| 20 years | $28,000–$50,000+ |
These aren’t mortgage payments. These are fees — for a property you can’t sell, can’t give away easily, and often can’t even book when you want it.
That money could be summer trips on your own schedule. Home improvements. Emergency savings. A vehicle. Retirement contributions. It could be June — actually enjoyed.

There’s something psychological about a new month. It feels like permission to reset. We make new goals, close out old ones, and decide what we’re done carrying.
Thousands of people who are right where you are — tired of the fees, done waiting for “the right time” — made one decision in a month like this one. Not a dramatic leap. Just a first step: a 60-second survey to see if they qualify.
Since 2018, Liberty has helped over 35,000 owners permanently exit their contracts and eliminate more than $350 million in timeshare debt — with a 100% money-back guarantee if we can’t get it done within 18 months.
You don’t have to carry this into another month. Take 60 seconds this week. That’s the whole ask.
