Philosophers have always said that "You will be happy when you only live in the present. Don't focus on the past or the future".

I kind of agree, but doesn't this ultimately require a lifestyle where you are unemployed and homeless? I mean, there's no reason to pay the rent or go to work if you live like there was no tomorrow.

"LIVING IN THE PRESENT" DOES NOT ENTAIL "LIVING LIKE THERE IS NO TOMORROW"; "TO LIVE IN THE PRESENT" DOES NOT MEAN TO LIVE FATALISTICALLY, OR HEDONISTICALLY, WITHOUT REMEMBRANCE OF THE PAST, AND WITHOUT VISION FOR THE FUTURE, BUT TO BE SELFAWARE AND SELFCONSCIOUS AT ALL MOMENTS —TO BE MINDFUL OF ONE'S BEINGNESS, AND BECOMINGNESS.

Just as many, if not more, have said that the path to goodness and happiness is that of the man who sacrifices short term pleasure for long term gain.

Living in the moment is more of a post-modern and eastern religious concept, though I suppose it's not unusual for past philosophers to advise being completely aware in the moment, in addition to aiming for higher goals.
