Wouldn't it be wonderful if you didn't have to worry though?

That's not always the case. My father was around for almost everything, never worked an 80 hour week in my memory (granted, he was a bit older than I plan to start a family), and he was able to pay for college and grad school for my sister and I--without any scholarships or financial aid.
You seriously don't have to live a fast paced lifestyle during your youth, and when your children are young, to assure a comfortable lifestyle for them.
