But not me! I buy good, expensive shoes: they save me money over the long haul because they last twice as long as a cheap pair.

What' s more, I have great interest in joining the Tax Department as my long term career goal is to be a tax consultant.

But these methods would not be enough in the long run.

So you see, these "solutions" do not help in the long run.

But a more interesting way, the current way to take the long view, is to look at it in an evolutionary perspective.
