I think this is a legitimate question for anybody about to enter into a relationship, whether it be kink-based or not. From what I've seen, she acknowledges she's bad with finances, and that usually means that she either never learned how to do it properly or lack the self-discipline. Maybe what would work better would be to (in the short-term), have you take over the finances, but give her an allowance and teach her how it works. Over time, as she learns how to make better decisions, you can gradually loosen the screws and start giving her a little more slack. Before you get yourself too tied in to her financials, where's she at? Does she have a lot of pre-existing debt? Be careful about intertwining yours and hers together, because is she is on the hook, you can end up getting jammed up in her problems. And if not, for both of your benefit, make sure she has something to fall back on should there be a less-than-amicable outcome. Perhaps open up a savings account in her name that she either doesn't know about or can't access easily. If the shit hits the fan relationship-wise, you don't want to be accused of coercing her into giving up her money. That can reflect very badly on you, and in some places may even be considered a criminal act.
