That's actually a pretty damning indictment of our current economic system, and I don't blame you at all for still harbouring concerns. If someone had told you 30 years ago that your childrens' university and basic needs would be taken care of, you'd bet pretty good money on them coming out pretty far ahead in the long run, regardless of how much wealth you left them. The fact that that is no longer enough to provide you (and probably the majority parents) with a high-level of optimism towards their chances of prosperity really speaks to how much we've mucked this whole thing up, IMO.
