Ok, it was just my mum. But still, I feel really uncomfortable saying it. Do other people know how much you earn?

I just say " Less than I'd like, but more than I'm worth".

I can't believe anybody would be so rude as to ask.

If anyone asks me how much I earn I say "tell me how much you earn first and then I'll tell you how much I earn". That usually kills the conversation.
