content: You sound like my employees and my sisters kids.  "life's about enjoying it and not thinking about it too much" said every dependent ever.  meanwhile most employers believe life is about making tomorrow better by changing things today.    It's all an opinion, some people would rather make sacrifices today to not have to work so hard tomorrow by both making more today, while they can, and making tomorrow cheaper to live.    Like assholes, we've all got opinions.  GL using that "work to life" mentality in the long run when your family is mostly slouches.
