My T used to be a state employee, so I knew what she made before, and it was what I would think of as squarely middle class. I don't know what she makes in private practice now, but I do know that we drive nearly identical (non-impressive) cars. I don't think it would bother me if she made more, but maybe that's because my household is decently secure financially. I think she works pretty hard and sometimes does things for me without getting paid (like outside contact), so I don't begrudge her a single penny of her fee.
