Investing is a significant practice in the Bay Area, and one reason why many locals do well over the long run. San Francisco residents invest in new companies, stocks, bonds, and 401 (k) plans. They invest in property for long-term gains.
Older Bay Area generations may be grateful they purchased a home to enjoy in their golden years.
We also invest directly in ourselves. Perhaps you went back to school for that master’s degree, and now it’s paying off in a purposeful career. Or you’ve been diligent about investing in your health, and it’s kept you youthful, rather than stiff and less active.
With every investment, there is always a risk taken for a reward. But smart investments tend to keep the rewards going. Investing in your teeth is one example. A beautiful, healthy mouth pays off in various ways. First, investing in dental implants can help curb future gum disease and tooth decay. Another reward is mitigating future mouth pain and dental procedures. Finally, you’ll feel more confident showing the world a bright, attractive smile. Great teeth can lead to a favorable social life better networking opportunities and possible more romantic prospects too.
Everyone has their own reasons for consulting with Dr. Rabinovich about dental implants. And like all great investments, it takes a bit of sacrifice to achieve the reward. The earlier you invest, the longer the payoff can be.
Dental Implants: Ignore the FOMO and focus on your goal
Investing for the long term can be challenging. Typically it takes saving money and managing time to achieve long-term goals. Yet, the pressure of social media and FOMO can be tough to ignore. FOMO, meaning Fear of Missing Out, is on your phone, enticing you to ‘join the crowd’ and go have some fun. See your friends sharing pics of that fantastic cruise they are planning? Join them! Or what about committing to seasonal San Francisco Giants tickets?
We are not suggesting you never go to a Giants game; several clinic staff are big fans, too. But if you are looking to invest in a long-term reward, such as beautiful teeth, consider skipping a few things for a while. Tell your friends “next year” for the tropical vacation. Pull back on the five-star restaurants for a little bit. If social media has shown us anything, it’s that FOMO never ends.
And once you’re done investing in your teeth, you can get back to investing in more fun. And when the phone pops out for a selfie at a Giants Game or at a Caribbean cruise, your bright smile is the reward!
