I think work is important, but so is doing what you love. Some people I know only work and have zero time for their families or for doing anything else. It's better to work to live than to live to work. Sure, they might own their own house, but they're never in it except to sleep. Yes, there needs to be balance. It can't be all play and no work either.
I like working on cars, I find it relaxing. Unless it's the Avalon's radio, then it's downright frustrating. I mean, yeah, a person may not save very much money fixing up an old beater, especially when you factor in time. But that's time a father can spend with his son, for an example. You usually can't just take your son to work and do the same thing.
