The first is correct. The second has a problem with order. Again should follow better off because that's what it modifies and soon should follow again because it modifies again. Those are the reasons the order in the second makes it unacceptable.

There are unwritten rules for the ordering of multiple adjectives or adverbs in a sentence that native English speakers learn intuitively and that others may find hard to understand. In this case "again," an adverb of frequency, precedes "soon," an adverb of time. That they refer to frequency and time in this case is more clear if you rephrase the sentence as something like "We will be better off one more time in less than a month."

The first sentence is right : We'll be better off again soon.

The first one is correct- We'll be better off again soon. Soon is modifying again. The second one doesn't make sense.

The first one is correct, but the second one isn't. I can't explain why; I am just a grammar expert and the second one just sounds wrong.

Omit "again" in both.
