So my mother comes into my room today with a disappointed face and says "I just reviewed your account. The money I left in there was for food, not for figures. You're eating, right? I don't see any purchases other than Japanese stores...Don't starve yourself."

How do I get my mother to understand my moe?

No, even when I was a kid she'd call my power ranger toys "action figures". If they're not "actiony" they're just normal figures. To her, my Gurren Lagann is an action figure, because it's a robot. My girl figures are just figures. Not sure what she thinks about male figures that don't look buff.

Don't let your mother look at your account details, basic NEET common sense.

My mom would kill me dead if she knew what I was spending my money on when I call her up and ask for rent money because "I just couldn't pull through on what I had left over from last month"

My family is fairly wealthy. She puts about $50 a week into my account for food expenses. She goes to work and school (this is like the 3rd freaking profession she's going to school for, I don't understand how she can work so hard) so doesn't cook. This means we're usually eating at different times.

I can easily save money in 2 weeks to get figs. I just munch on bread, crackers, the cheapy cheap stuff.

I like them, they're pretty. Also, without them, my room would be empty. Just a bed, computer, and TV.

I was in my room and I was just like staring at the wall thinking about everything, but then again I was thinking about nothing, and then my mom came in and I didn't even know she was there she called my name and I didn't even hear it, and then she started screaming: MIKE! MIKE!
And I go: What, what's the matter?
And she goes: What's the matter with you?
I go: There's nothing wrong mom.
And she goes: Don't tell me that, you're on drugs!
And I go: No, mom I'm not on drugs I'm okay, I was just thinking you know, why don't you get me a Pepsi.
And she goes: NO, you're on drugs!
I go: Mom I'm okay, I'm just thinking.
She goes: No you're not thinking, you're on drugs! Normal people don't act that way!
I go: Mom, just give me a Pepsi, please all I want is a Pepsi, and she wouldn't give it to me
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just ONE Pepsi, and SHE WOULDN'T GIVE IT TO ME

This thread sort of reminds me of when my Saber Lily figure arrived. As I was out at the time when it arrived and seeing a relatively large package arrive, my mother opened it and assumed it was for her.

Was a fun time explaining to her it wasn't for her.

Sorry, but that's a little uncalled for.

I admit my post wasn't exactly contributing in any shape or form, but damn. You wouldn't say anything as insulting as that to an anon who posted what I posted.

Now on topic with the thread:

Is it really that hard to tell your parents to mind their own business? Although, saying a number of you are paid for by your parents, it's probably best to use that money for food, and go earn your own money to buy other stuff with. Money isn't that hard to earn, really.

Figures are a good investment too, you know. It's very rare that they will decrease in price. Wait maybe a year or two, and the estimated price for it will double. That's assuming that you take good care of the item and make sure not to let any damages happen to it.
