Yes. Asking you how much you earn is rude. And I think you handled the situation beautifully.

the question is wrong because you are not marring their son. also because you just meet them.and i think you answered in a polite way. the one about where you work is not bad don't trip on that.

Answering "not enough, I could really use your help in paying some of my bills" works wonders too.
