nai-form verb + なくて済む

なくて済む means one avoids having to do something that might have been necessary.

It is often used with relief.

資料を事前に送っておいたので、会議で詳しく説明しなくて済んだ。

Because I sent the materials in advance, I did not have to explain in detail at the meeting.

Do not confuse it with simply not doing; it means not needing to do it.

It might have been necessary, but was avoided.
