Is this thing on?

littlestarlolo:

I told my mom that I needed to save up $200 this summer

“Oh how are you gonna do that, Lauren?”

I said I’ll do it with commissions and by hopefully getting a waitress job at the ice cream place down the street from us　.

“What do you need $200 for?”

I told her about the Hot Toys Loki…

My opinion…. get it

You are you’re parents responsibility, they are not yours. Yes, it sounds incredibly selfish, but it’s not like you’re going to spend their money on it, you’re going to work for it.

What you can do, is get the job, save up all the money that you can, cut down on personal spending (new clothes, munchies, movie going, etc) and from your pay, you put part on your loki savings and part helping out on something on the house (it doesn’t have to be something big, maybe something like putting a part of groceries, or paying a part of the internet  bill, bla bla).

Now I say your parents are not your responsibility not in a screw everything they did for you it was their obligation way„, but I say it in a you don’t necessarily have to give up stuff you want (and would work for), just because your parents spent money on you. I made that mistake with my mother for around 2 years, and it didn’t go well, I even pushed back my moving out because I felt guilty and mother had grown dependent on me.

In the end, it’s your work that’s giving you the money, so you decide how to use it, be it to help your parents out, or to buy something that you really want and that other people might see as a waste of money (remember YOUR money, not theirs) or some compromise between the two.

Welp, that’s my opinion on these things ^^ here, have some Thorki
