"trusting in what life will provide" is a bit new-age I feel. The analogy is comforting. But maybe something more realistic would be like this: -- Picture two hamsters. One works constantly to pay off his hamster-mansion, and hamster-sports-car. He can't spend much time with his family. The hamster-kids are at a fancy hamster-school far way. The other hamsters earns less, but makes time for playing boardgames with the hamper-family. They have a modest hampster-home, and all take a low cost trip to visit their hamster family throughout the year.
