Why do you keep assuming it's a matter of finances alone?

I really suggest that you do more reading. After that, you may still choose to 
give out information, but at least you'll be making an informed choice.

Meanwhile, you might want to consider that, while your date of birth might not 
seem important in itself, it's enough to distinguish you from other people of 
the same name. Armed with that information, companies can build up a 
surprisingly accurate and detailed picture of your activities and preferences. 
Even if you aren't susceptible to full-blown paranoia, why on earth would you 
want to help companies to gain such information? Do you really want to be 
targetted more accurately?
