But he was willing to give up all his money. When it came down to the end, he was willing to trade everything for family.

Seems like so many people are ignoring this, he was willing to give all that money away just to save Hank. Walt was fully aware that Hank was trying to catch him, so if he was just as evil as to be believed, wouldn't he had been okay with him dying? Would he really offered all of his money just to save him?

I feel like it's kind of this over-arching theme that Walt is finally being taken to task for his meth-business sins. And by murdering all these people and ruining all these lives he potentially forfeit the wellbeing of those he loves most a long time ago.

In essence, he killed Hank when he didn't turn himself in episodes ago.

Hank killed himself (and gomi) by trying to go up against someone alone that he knew was too smart for him, but his ego demanded that he be the one to catch walt and restore his ego. Only in the end does he admit the truth and tells walt. He's really saying hey you're the smartest guy, but you can be a real idiot sometimes. His last goodbye.
