Friendly advice from a married guy: be careful about overdoing it with the financial discipline stuff. Trying too hard to change someone's behavior is an easy recipe for resentment, especially in the turf war that naturally ensues when you start living together. Just as you see her as undisciplined, she could also be afraid that you'll be overly rigid and not allow her to enjoy life in the way she's used to. Once you've made your point about something like this, I think it's usually better to back off and leave making the change up to the person themselves, unless they specifically ask for your help. Being too pushy can also cause the other person to dig in, a counterproductive result.
