No , dont think too far in front, you may never get there.
I learned many years ago to stop worrying what may or may not happen. I very rarely think more than a few months ahead. I find it unbelievably more relaxing and much more enjoyable, decidedly less stressful.
The Thai attitude seem similar, certainly explains the attitude toward borrowing, loans etc, worry about what they can afford today, or this month, not the 50% or higher interest they will end up actually paying, assuming they get that far.
