My advice to everyone is to only buy if you can safely afford it. But I make no assumptions based on age. I’m sure there are many 23 year olds who can afford better than many 43 year olds.
My advice though: Buy the lower end of the points you really see yourself using now. Easier to add on more points later rather than finding you have too many points.
200 points is plenty for a couple if you’re planning 1-2 weeks in studios per year. With banking and borrowing, you may also want to consider whether you might end up combining points with skipping years. (If you take 1 trip every 2 years, 400 points would actually be on the big side).
If you’re buying direct and want to insure a popular time period, you may want to investigate buying a fixed week. Though I don’t see that as a priority at SSR.
Just so no one is confused, fixed weeks are not available at SSR. They started with AUL. So VGF, Poly, CCV and RIV have offered them.
