It sounds like you've got a healthy outlook to me. That balance of planning versus enjoying today is a tough and very individual one, planning for a future that may never happen. But as long as you're somewhere in the middle, rather than at either extreme, I think that's healthy.
With the concerns over knowledge, planning, self-sufficiency, and vulnerability, it sounds like the larger issue for you is around control. That's a tough one, because there will probably come a time when you have to surrender to lack of control. But that's probably one of the hardest things to learn in life, and I can't say I'm much further along the path toward giving up control than you are.
