Saving Money in the Long Run

It looks like the economy is starting to recover.  

Still, many people continue trying to save instead of spend.  That makes sense -- to some extent. Sure, you can save money now by not having your car's oil changed, but in the long run, you'll likely wind up paying more in expensive engine repairs.  The same goes for your dental care.  You can wait to have that aching tooth examined, but if you wait too long, it might develop into something more serious and costly to treat.  Same goes for keeping on track with regular teeth cleanings.  If you put off your appointment, to save money, you might wind up having to pay more in the long run as those unclean teeth develop into unhealthy and decaying teeth...

A cleaning today can help prevent a root canal tomorrow.
