is it worth it to throw sensibility to the wind sometimes and just enjoy where life leads you despite your better judgment concerning long-term ramifications? i mean, is there much to be said for the meaning and value of living in each "now" moment and just being confidant that whatever the consequences you'll be able to handle them? after all, if we don't live for the now, than why live at all?
conversely, is sacrificing the short term excitement for long term stability and practicality really a bad investment? is protecting your own interests -- even at the expense of someone else -- and curtailing some immediate gratification in lieu of the "big picture" really ever unwise?
is it silly to live life hoping to make every decision wisely? is it worth living life that way? am i romanticizing spontaneity?
is it ignorant to think that the above two scenarios are necessarily mutually exclusive? am i asking too many questions?
...probably.

As long as you try not to make too many unnecessary dumb decisions than all is fine. I mean just make sure you have a fall back plan. Most of us are quite privledged and can always just go home to the parents after doing really dumb things or have the support of friends to keep you up. Everything, even relationships are about cost and benefit. You just pay/benefit and grow with every decision. I dont believe in backstabbing though, nothing good ever becomes of that.
Just remember that the world is balanced so for every benefit there is always a price. Just make sure you can live with the price.
If you can earn your place in the world, you'll enjoy it all the more.
