Working "hard" is often how you perceive the situation. One may feel like they are working "hard" at a job they hate but they are really goofing off and getting no work done at all. Other people find an occupation that they enjoy and never "work hard" a day in their lives.
In terms of working many hours and not having much to show for it, I think that either comes down to making decisions either before or after the fact. I had a baby while I was in university. That decision forced me to work harder for the next fifteen years to get to the same financial position as if I didn't have the child and just graduated and got a job in five years.
Other people spend the money they earn on stuff that will make them feel good now, rather than investing it in assets like real estate or stocks, that will take care of them financially in the future.
In conclusion, I find that the harder I work, the better prepared I am to take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves in my life. Call that luck, or what you will.
