Hi,
Difficult to generalise because there are so many things you need to take into account. You have to look at the 2nd house ruler, the planets in the second house, the aspects to the 2nd house ruler, things like if there are planets like the Sun, Jupiter, Venus in the first house, which would make one more magnanimous and also sort of nicer (readiness to help). Also need to consider the Moon (emotional security and finances) and also the Sun (core, basic tendency).
However, to narrow this down a bit and be a bit more specific, look at the 2nd house ruler. If it is in signs like Cap, Virgo, Cancer or Scorpio - these signs (NOT natives!) are generally a bit tighter and also more sensible with money. They look for higher and tangible ROI's (returns if they are giving out even a dime). Again, a person with many personal planets in either of those aforementioned signs will have a tendency to keep their money with them and if they spend it, it will be on items that hold value for long and will give them their money back with interest, e.g. real estate, gold, fixed deposits, and the like.
If the person has Uranus in the 2nd house, they will be inclined to risk money on things that give them a kick - gambling, stocks and shares, or just spend it in sudden spurts. Pluto in the second can make one use money to manipulate, and the native might also go to extremes - be able to save a lot and then spend so much that he goes on overdraft.
These are basic tendencies, so don't jump out of your skin if you have any of the above.
