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.
