Is work requirement for money a healthy mentality?

There is a school program that gives students $50 per week no strings attached. They goal is it'll help students overall (better attendance, etc.). I suppose it's in the same vein as UBI, just some guaranteed money with no strings attached.

I'm not so interested in the feasibility of this $50 program and UBI. Basically, not interested in "who pays". But it just seems like these types of program aren't healthy from a mental POV. As a child I got an allowance but it was always for doing something. The something wasn't important. Could be 30 seconds of taking out the trash. But it was clear that you worked for your money. There is no charity. Worth ethics and all.

Just seems like getting free stuff isn't healthy for our mental well being, and society at large. When we actually have to work for something it feels so much more meaningful.

Is this a conservative POV? Do liberals agree that it's important to foster worth ethics? That "free" stuff is just a something we don't want to engage in?
