So how is בזעת עפיך תאכל לחם a curse?
When they farmed the land, thorns grew instead of wheat. Chazal say they also had webbed fingers which made it hard to work. I believe that ended when Noah was born.
Work is what you do between vacations.

it says there "aini yodea im leamal melacha oi leamal dibbur" If one can do that it is definitely praiseworthy but the main thing is that man has to work... very hard

Agreed.

How many times do we see rich people saying they don't want to leave enormous amounts of money to their kids because they won't feel the need to work.

Listen to the rich people. They should know.

Husband to wife : what would you do if I won the lottery?

Wife: I'd take my share and leave you.

Husband: I won $12. Take $6 and get the hell outta here !

Additionally, working very hard is a crucial part of life. It fills your time and makes you feel productive. Winning the mega millions will mean you lose the most productive thing about a person - working hard to support a family. With no need for money, boredom will set in real quickly.
Learn Torah.
