What would you call somebody who prepares for the future?

Long-range planner. My father.

Responsible seems to be the easiest one…

Homo-prethinkus…a new breed of human. Because let’s face it, there just aren’t too many of those Walking Calendars around today… Oh, look! I made two. haha =]

@Chongalicious Welcome to Fluther

Well prepared.

Smart. Responsible. Adult, perhaps?

My Dad, for one. Responsible, mature, foresighted, intelligent, adult, logical, smart, prepared, and wise are all options.

@Darwin : Would it be possible to be intelligent, logical, smart and still a flake about long-range planning?

Provider

@gailcalled – Certainly, but if you are a long-range planner then you could still be described as any of those terms.

@Darwin; True. I see intelligent as synonymous with smart, and mature a synonym for adult, however.

@gailcalled – I was offering a list of words that could be applied to a long-term planner, not a combined description. Any of those terms I feel can be used. Think of my answer as a thesaurus entry rather than a definition.

@Darwin: Right.

I would call them a visionary, or someone with a good foresight(possibly a bad one too :O)

Wise?

Wise and responsible.

@Dog thanks for the warm welcome =)
