We evolved family/social dynamics to facilitate "work" (i.e. not starve or die of exposure) not the other way around though.
The problem with the modern economy based on currency and exchange value is we are alienated from our labor as well as the traditional sorts of family units that our brains evolved to thrive in. Not that the world demands work first - because that's always been the case, the world is a hard fucking place.

Looks like a reasonable hierarchy to me, without work you have no money and without money you can't take care of family

It is possible to spin your wheels and not go anywhere. Having goals with externally verifiable and objective criteria helps
Also you are fighting against time (age, decay, entropy) so even maintaining can be a victory, albeit a somewhat depressing one
