When someone who doesn't plan for his future, is he considered naive?

Answer 1

No.. .he's considered a drain on society.

Answer 2

Everyone is planning for his or her future, except that some people's ways of planning their future are less constructive than what many of us expect them they should be to make us competitive in this society or market place. If one doesn't plan for his future, which is also like living his life without goals that we believe are necessary to help us survive financially and socially, he is not naive. A fair judgment to this kind of person will be that he thinks differently and plans for his future in a way that he thinks suits him best. A passive, less ambitious person who fears challenges and hides from life crisis shouldn't be called naive. Instead this person is someone who generates his or her intelligence on a different level.

Answer 3

I guess that would depend. Some people legitimately don't believe there is a future--strange as that may sound. So for them it's a very logical calculated act and therefor--not naive.

For people that are just denying that actions need to be taken, I'm not sure if "naive" is the right word, more short sighted, etc.

Naive to me connotes "innocence" and I'm not sure that denying the future is that.

Interesting question though.

Answer 4

When you are young, you almost never think about 20-30 years in the future. I think it's naive and I wish I'd have listened.

Start an IRA now, or buy CD's (not the music kind)

Answer 5

i prefer to meet each day as it comes and not plan too much ahead. i never do things that would harm my future tho. i just find it too stressful to worry about whether or not im gona have the job i want in ten years. i'm just gona keep doing art and yoga an the things i liek an see were it takes me.
sides, ive known chronic worriers, an it turns out for all their worryin an plannin, the future tunred out quite smooth and ordinary, i however had an ulcer practically from soemone elses worrying...

Answer 6

I guess it could be, but that is improper use of the word. Naive is someone who believes a guy when he says he loves her when he's obviously just trying to get in her pants.

Answer 7

Depending on the age, but I think no, because who knows what can happen, I leave a lot of it up to fate or destiny, Or the power of possitive thinking....I think I'll be fine..

Answer 8

i thought naive meant completely other thing...
