Rich people obligations?
I once overheard an anecdote about rich teens going to a convent in Spain and looking after the nuns during some time in the summer or winter. I find that very strange, is it an 'old money' phenomenon? Can the teens say 'LOL funk that!' and do whatever they want in their time off like normal people would or is it a hardcore obligation teaching them charity and humility? Or is it that most super rich are brought up in their environment in boarding schools and such? I'm aware that it's also b/c of Europe and how conservative they potentially are in spite of anything, specially the high class, but I still find it puzzling and would like to learn more.

It was traditional for rich families to teach their children to enjoy the benefits
of their station in life, but also to recognize that with great wealth and power,
they also had obligations.
Also, they got what we would now refer to as good press.

No it's just a stereotype or something it doesn't exist most rich teens in Europe go to summer camps around the world or in the south of France or Spain but not to take care of nuns of course.
but yeah parents teach us humility and stuff i did some charity work and all but we don't have to pass all summer in a convent. Even though i went to Boarding school i never had to look after the nuns it's just stereotypes you see on Tv not true at all. And Europe is far from conservative USA is more conservative than Europe.

Rich people are rich because they don't waste their money as bad as other people do .
Proof: Most million dollar lottery winners are broke within 5 years.
Ergo: Rich people deserve to do what they want to do.
