I personally like to keep my needs simple. Its when you go and complicate things alot that the future matters. If you keep everything simple and open then what happens in the future doesnt really matter because you have the capacity to handle it.

Agreed, with the exception of your final point -- in practice, there can be no distinction between present and future goals. Their connection is symbiotic, as they invariably cooperate to distinguish the overall quality of life one enjoys.
Generally, I find that many who ceaselessly plan for the "future" end up living their lives in spite of the present.
Planning ahead is a good idea. It enhances clarity on potential load-bearing obstacles that might otherwise hinder effective resource management (money; family planning; job outlook, etc...). Makes it easier to navigate the complexities of life, while preparing for moments of vulnerability later on.
The paradox is that too much focus can hamper one's enjoyment of simple pleasures -- things like family; money management and career opportunities. Sacrificing this peripheral analysis can easily pollute one's ability to develop a reliable framework for future events.

I enjoyed your post, Night.

For me, I think it's good to look a few steps forward, in order to prepare on the possible (most predictable, perhaps) changes and be able to check up on your necessities if that's really needed... and it's also good to know yourself (also gives some kind of preparation)... but other than that, and especially when I feel in place, I just like to enjoy the very moment
