It is totally normal to be concerned with the future of our children. The best we can do is to empower them. Leaving money behind does not necessarily mean they are gonna make it. Empower them to make their own money. We won't enjoy our own lives, if we live worrying about their own future. There should be a balance. If my parents left no money for me and I can come out fine, my children too will.

Absolutely, I fully intend to teach them about how to make and manage money for themselves, with no expectation of receiving anything from me. Once I know they are responsible, they will be surprised with a financially secured future even if they hit tough times.
I see myself more as a potential provider. I will want my children to have the comfort of enjoying life (or at least the ability to do so) in a way that I may not have been able to do due to my financial limitations.
