2nd part isn't a complete sentence.
without the right plan it can really prove wuite expensive.-

Example (Comma):The game ended, but the crowd refused to leave. (notice these two can stand alone as sentences)

Section VIII. The Colon
THE SECRET OF THE COLON
• The COLON joins a fragment that defines, clarifies or presents more information about some item in the first sentence.
Example:
A large car blocked my driveway. A huge SUV. (WRONG)
A large car blocked my driveway: a huge SUV. (RIGHT)
P.S.Another alternative to the colon would be using -- however, the colon looks better in a formal piece of writing
completely wrong......
