Should you pay for your child's college education?

Not only do I not “expect” my kids to financially support me when I’m old, I’m hoping there will be ample money left over in my estate after I’m gone to pass on to the kids and grandkids.

It’s one thing if bad things happen and life goes awry, but to plan in advance to be a financial burden on my kids? No, not doing that to them (or myself, for that matter).
