About
Great to meet you!
We decode the money stuff so you can spend more time live.
Most streamers don’t have experience managing their business or personal finances. Buff Your Finances provides the guidance you need to make, save, and enjoy more money with your stream. We decode the money side of streaming so you can do more of what you love: actually broadcasting. The more you stream, the more we at Buff Your Finances get to watch fun streams. It’s really a win-win.
Galen Herbst de Cortina (Chigginators)
Head streaming nerd, lead planner.
It’s my mission to make sure that all streamers learn how to run their businesses and manage their personal finances. I want to help you transition from an accidental business owner to someone who acts with intention and knowledge. Most of us weren’t taught those skills in school. I see so much potential in all of you and I don’t want something as manageable as taxes get in your way. I couldn’t find any traditional planning firms working with streamers so I went out and started my own.
I have always had an obsession with video games. WoW basically consumed my college life. When I moved halfway across the country for a new job I found my friends in the StarCraft club at work. I watch professional DotA 2 and StarCraft whenever I can. My current addiction is Slay The Spire.
For the credentials: I’m a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Professional and have my MBA in personal financial planning. Additionally, I write for StreamerSquare as well as my own blog.
