At work, just finished doing test calls for a project I'm on. Time to work some emails now.
Oh yeah t told me yesterday that she still thinks I'm underemployed. I was thinking oh geez not this again. Why does she persist in thinking I'm smarter than I am? Besides the fact that I love what I do now.
She was asking lots of questions about my finances and aghast that I didn't know numbers off our tax forms off the top of my head. I don't like when she gets all pushy about that stuff. It's none of her business, right?

If you're in a job that makes you happy, that's all that matters! I'm sure I'm technically underemployed now since I got a master's a few years ago, but this works for me right now. I certainly don't know income numbers off the top of my head (it's always fun filling out employment applications when I have to list past salaries), made more complicated by the fact that I do freelance now, so what I make week to week varies. I agree that your finances are none of her business, so long as you pay her.
ETA: I think this is some of your T's maternal countertransference at play here...
