It means that it’s better to prevent the things for the moment to save time or work in the future.

Well l’m not an expert but that’s what l got from the proverb

l hope it can help you, and l’d like to have friends to practice my English. If so, we’ll talk later.

A little preventive maintenance can eliminate the need for major repairs later; also “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” has the same meaning.
