Yet, what about the situation where one of the kids is very successful financially and has no need for your money? What message does an unequal gift send?

We use money every day but perhaps money and happiness doesn't even belong together in the same sentence. Does money truly make you happy? Do we usually make money decisions based on emotions, not facts?
