An ALMOST step-parent needs advice!

I'm currently dating a woman with 3 children, ages 8, 10 and 15. This is my FIRST time dating a woman with children. The first few months of dating were fine, as my interaction with the children wasn't wanted by my SO. But now as we get closer to marriage, I have been given more responsibilities. On a personal evel, we get along great. The 10 year old is a reflection of myself at that age, being a bookworm. The problem I have come to face is FINANCES! I am so used to taking care of only myself that my budgeting skills for a family sucks! Needless to say, this has upset my SO.
