Materialistic Mom?

Sa
So my mom asked me when my boyfriend was going on vacation. I told her when he was going away and she said "Did you ask him to bring you home anything" I said " I told him to bring me back a suvineer" and my mom said "No tell him to bring you home earings and that you're allergic to anything but gold". I am actually allergic to anything but gold in my ear piercings. Then my mom said "You're worth it". Is the amount of money you spend equivalent to how much someone values you?
