Here's the link to the obvious song relevant to the thread: THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER.
I've seen daisy pickers neglecting basic needs of their children and I've seen parents neglecting emotional needs of their children like laughter and all that while caring for today's or future's basic needs. I dislike both errors in living. My impression is that for many of you it is less different lifestyles you are talking about than different verbal descriptions of the same lifestyle.
