One of the great things about having a spiritual or religious basis for life is that one is clear that life is a very precious gift in which making a living is an important part but not the most important part. The most important part is the spiritual and/or religious part dealing with values like worship & adoration of God, ethical living which includes fulfilling one's role in the family (as sons & daughters, as parents etc.), peace, love and joy.
So making a living alone typically will not dominate such a person's life to the extent of killing him/her from overwork. But they might rise less in their career and make lesser money due to the balance they keep between making a living and living their family and spiritual & religious lives.
