And you find out that you have only 5 years left to live. That would mean you would need to work non stop (almost no family time) in order to set them up. Would you do so?

Alternatively (if you did not knew that) you would continue working the 50/50 route and you'd die before setting it up, but you would have quality 5 years with your family instead. And it is not that they would be broke (you would still leave a decent capital to them).

Just brainstorming
When I say "set up", I don't mean that my family would be "set for life" financially. I have things already set in such a way that they would have what they need.... And I don't want to hobble my son with large amounts of unearned wealth. I am more referring to giving him the life lessons and wisdom which I think will be truly valuable and enriching to him.
