For those lucky people that are about to get their tax
refunds, did you know that
your birth order influences 
how you see money and use it?
Many couples have 
different ideas about money
and some feel this issue 
can lead to difficulties in a
marriage. Your birth order 
can explain your behavior.
Basic Birth Orders
The basic birth orders are
the Only without siblings, 
the firstborn, second born, third
born and fourth born.  
After number four the series
starts over again. Each 
birth order has their own
view about money and how
it should be used. This does
not mean that you have 
no choice in the matter as
each birth order has both 
positive and
negative behavior patterns, see
which 
is yours.
The Only
This person mimics his parents
and is the only birth 
order without siblings.  If he was indulged by his 
parents and given anything he
wanted then a person 
with this birth order may buy
jewelry clothes or art 
work. Anything for himself,
as this type of Only 
would not want to share. The
positive Only would 
be buying books, his first
friend, or maybe theater 
tickets for himself and a
companion to share in his 
windfall.
Firstborn
The firstborn can be very
frugal with money and save 
it for their retirement or save
it for their grandchildren. 
Money can be used as power
over others so by giving 
gifts they feel more
powerful. They feel the burden of 
leading the family and want to
be an example for the 
younger siblings.  The other type of firstborn would 
want to flaunt their power
and may use the money to 
throw a lavish party in their
home to show others how 
successful and powerful they
have become.
Second Born
The second born uses money to
protect themselves 
from not being told what to
do. Some of the most 
successful people are second
borns like Bill Gates 
and Warren Buffett.  If positive, they will invest this 
tax refund to further grow
their nest egg.  If negative, 
they may go on an adventure
trip where they would 
much off the beaten track.
Third Born
This birth order doesn’t care
about power or money 
they see the human
condition  and the beauty of nature.  
Their senses are very
developed and they want to 
understand and “Feel” life at
every level. On a positive 
note they may give their
refund to the church, make a 
donation to a worthy cause,
or help a poor street person. 
If negative they may throw a
party where drugs and 
alcohol are in abundance, or
go to a rock concert. 
Fourth Born
This is the baby in the birth
order series and they may 
want to seek advice from an
older sibling as to what to 
do with the money. They would
tell them to save it for 
the future as the older
sibling will not always be there 
to help them. Of course, they
may not listen and just 
want to have a good time with
their friends. A party 
barge would be a great place
for a good time.
The Choice is Yours
Every birth order has a
special way to look at money.  
They have a choice that is
positive or negative and that 
is why even the same birth
order appear different.  Which 
behavior will be yours and
will you have a conflict with 
your spouse if a Tax refund
appears?
