Funny that you mention the earn-little-spend-little 25 year old lifestyle... I'm currently living that lol (though contract work here and there has given me a decent amount of money).
I find myself fighting between that happy/relaxing fantasy world, and the other side which is a goal/dream to go big with a project. Though I guess there is a 3rd side which is work your ass for a company making a good salary to support yourself later, should you be injured or retired.
Anyway, I've always believed in work smart over working hard, but I think the 'work hard' mentality will take a while to shake off... but eventually robots/machines WILL do most everything and we just won't need to be employed (or everyone will have to know engineering?).

Yeah, even now I'd say working is essentially about making more money than the government will give to you through welfare programs. When/if welfare payouts increase or a basic universal income is implemented there will be less demand for jobs and people from all classes will actually begin choosing whether to work or not. I think it will be a long time before basic incomes are implemented or welfare is increased in the US though.
