She's done a good job of keeping our next vacation on a budget.
This is a win-win. She has something to look forward to (woman hate to be bored). Plus she is budgeting, she likes this. She feels in control of the money (security).

That's good and it works for you, men tend to think strategic and women tend to think tactical. She needs more information about the day to day financial issues. She can feel in control then and therefore feel safe.
Give her what she wants. She wants to feel secure about money, she wants to feel provided for. It's not about how much you make. It will be very attractive to her.
