+1 plus,  my mom has always found fault in me and has never praised me.  I have been told that I have an amazing singing voice (used to sing at church), and lots of people would praise me for my singing ability to my mom, but she has never once praised me for it.

I think deep down she is jealous of me. I make the most out of my entire family, even the men -- my brother, BIL, and even DH now.   I am the only female of my and my mother's generation to have a college degree.  I have traveled some (want to do more).  I got married later and had children later, and I think she also looks down on me for that (cultural and generational).  She stated that my sister (who is a sahm) has a better life than I do, while I was in the room, but my sister said I had the better life.

My mom has made these kinds of passive aggressive comments to me my whole life.  I don't speak to her very often, and even when I do, it's brief.[/quote]
Your mom does it because you have an annoying personality. You seem arrogant and selfish. You probably look down on her and your family. She thinks your sister has a better life because she’s probably more family oriented and care more about people and the family. 
You have more money, you care more about money, you probably don’t help the family. 
She values relationships and kindness more than money or the fact that you singer better than everyone.[/quote]
