The Tightwad

When money gets really tight, people many times will forgo preventative care with the belief they just do not have the money.  Preventative care can be in the form of medical, dental, and maintaining a house or car.  Preventative care can actually save a lot of money.  By keeping up with regular care of body, teeth, home or car, you are less likely to have a more costly catastrophe.  Take your car for instance, if you do your regular oil changes, your car will probably run for longer.  If you skip the oil changes, you’ll likely be needing a new engine.  Oil changes are a lot less costly than a new engine.
