I don't think you will be able to find a bank that would go along with this. But

Paying for a child's education >>>> leaving an inheritance.

Depends on the kid

The reality is the vast majority of people don't have enough assets to worry

Exactly, maybe I'm just a poor, but I don't get the worry about "ruining" them.

Agreed. Buying a first home, finishing college/grad school, raising a family, having a bad boss is hard enough

My kids will get my house to split up after they sell it.

Teaching them is better than leaving them money which can be good or bad

Only fulfillment I get in life is providing for my kids. I don’t like traveling.

I don't get it either, I plan to leave as much as I possibly can for my kids.
