I just want to make sure I can afford the damn house, not go broke having my paycheck decimated to nothing.

I understand helping and why it's important but the nagging has got to stop.
Is she offering to help with the bills so that you can set up your 401K?

I'd tell her that you truly appreciate the concern. After tax season and you rework your home owner's insurance, you will sit down with someone in your HR department to make sure it's done to their specifications. Until then, you need for the topic to cease.
Then follow through on those. Having a cash flow matters no matter how well intentioned certain matters are, such as 401k. If you're tapped, you're tapped.

I cannot fathom as a grown woman having a meddling parent. I'm so sorry you're going through this.
