Are you a person who thinks about the future or just here and now?

There are definitely two different types of people running around in this world. there are people who are thinkers of how the now affects the future and people who only live for the here and now.
So which one are you? And do you think the two types of people could ever learn to coexist together?

i'm not really a future-oriented person but i do think about it sometimes. i guess for me what i do in the present affects my future so i think about the present more often; what i am doing, where i am, the things that i choose to do. i think it's also one way of enjoying the present and not worrying much about the future and it really helps because one cannot really know what's in store for him when the time comes. it's like keeping my options open but at the same time making decisions that can positively affect the future. hopefully. :)

I am always thinking it seems. Now, how far ahead in the future I'm not sure if we're talking about the same thing.
I make plans and try to budget and no what's coming ahead. But I also like to dream. I dream of one day this will happen, and that will happen. I try to do things to help make not only my future better, but to make things easier for those that I leave behind.

That's exactly the type of thinkng ahead I meant.
I am the same way also.
Do you think though that the two types of people, those who do think ahead and those who don't can they coexist together...as in live together...have a future together?

I think I'm a little bit of both...I worry about how what I do now will affect my family years and years from now but I'm also determined to let my family know how much they mean to me everyday and spend as much time as I can with them.

I am a person who think how the now effects the future all the action of now are the results of tomorrow i believe in this so what ever i do i think it should be benefit me in some or other way. I feel there are people who who also think of the both but they are extraordinary i feel.

I am the type of person that always think about the future.
I always prepare for the future. I always plan for the future.
In short, I see to it that everything is okay for. Eventhough I know that
I can't have the perfect life that I'm dreaming of - atleast I'm trying to
have a better life!
Happy MyLotting!

I probably worry more about the future than think about it. I have two kids and I don't want to sour them on human nature but I don't want to send them out into the world naive either. I don't live for the here and now because it could all be over in a second. Sure both types can exist, one needs the other. Each relationship is based on a person who lives in the moment and the other person who wants to see if the moment can be recreated.
