[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]TL; DR:[/b] It's more important to give your children a good education and relationship skills than buckets of money.  The marriage partner they choose will probably have a bigger impact on their quality of life as adults than almost anything else you do, and you have very little control over that.  And help your crazy relatives because their children will appreciate it.  I hope this makes someone feel better.  YMMV.[/quote]

Dear OP, this is not an either-or proposition. Assuming that I also focus on good education and relationship skills, adding in a bucket of money is better than without it.

This is the same age-old question of "does money buy happiness", and invariably, we all decide that what makes us happy is personal fulfillment and the relationships we have. But once again don't fall into the trap of thinking that this is a "this or that" decision. Think of a situation, add money to it, does the money make the situation better/easier? Does it make it worse?
