This study sought to explore the relationships between present orientation (i.e., endorsing a live‐for‐today approach), future orientation (i.e., valuing planning for the future) and life satisfaction over two decades. A sample of American adults ( N = 6,464) across three waves was used. The temporal within‐person associations between the variables were examined using the random‐intercept cross‐lagged panel model. Participants who reported higher present orientation also reported lower life satisfaction in the future. Although it is often assumed that future orientation leads to higher future well‐being, the present results demonstrated that higher life satisfaction prospectively predicted future orientation, and not the other way around. The longitudinal trajectories of the variables were also examined using latent growth curve modeling. The results indicated that life satisfaction remained stable, present orientation increased and future orientation decreased over the course of the study. Overall, life satisfaction exhibited greater temporal stability than time orientation
