You deserve to feel financially empowered. The problem can be that you feel overwhelmed, overlooked or underserved in your financial lives. Terri understands. It’s why she has taken all her experience over a quarter-century of bull and bear markets managing billions of dollars for hundreds of people to create Zuma Wealth. Zuma Wealth is a firm by women for women. We’ve busted the myth that women aren’t interested in money and wealth topics.

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 Rimworld. 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.

Founder of DIWY Financial Planning (DIWYFP), an advice-only Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) offering hourly financial planning to help clients make clear, confident decisions. After more than two decades of experience at firms including JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Bloomberg, and HSBC, I launched DIWYFP in 2025 to help make professional financial planning more accessible to anyone seeking objective guidance, without a requirement to move assets or meet minimums. With DIWYFP you can plan for yourself—not by yourself™ using a “do-it-with-you” approach that emphasizes collaboration, education, empowerment, and transparency. I am a first-generation American, born in Brooklyn, NY, to parents who immigrated from Central America and the Caribbean. In 1999, I relocated to California with my wife and two children and now split time between California, New York, Florida, and Nevada. I earned a BS in Electrical Engineering from Syracuse University and an MBA in Finance from Long Island University. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, travel, astronomy, cycling, mentoring, and civic engagement. I am also drawn to wind-powered activities, including paragliding and sailing small boats.

Hello! My name is Billy (he/him), owner of Billfold Budget Counseling. I provide accessible financial advice for folks who want to see (or even make) significant, progressive change in our world. My goal is to help you tackle your financial challenges, so you can focus on making the world a more compassionate, diverse, and understanding place. I believe that money is not a natural thing. Be it overspending, living paycheck to paycheck, or a low credit score…these money mishaps are actually quite common. Because of this, I feel that there’s no shame in not understanding personal finance. Heck, when I was studying accounting as an undergrad, I managed to get in over my head with credit card debt. A situation due to a lack of personal finance knowledge. But this overwhelming burden would weigh on my every action, and my not-so-wise decision to ignore the problem only made it worse. I was eventually able to pay off my debt through sheer chance (and lots of part-time work), but I never wanted to feel that level of anxiety again. However, what was bad for me is often worse for others. In this country, there are haves and have-nots, and money has historically been hoarded by haves: rich, white, powerful men. As a privileged white male, I had the opportunities that lead me to eventually being debt-free. I could see how my challenges were relatively small compared to the structural issues that other folks face. So, I’ve made it my mission to not only provide financial planning, education, and coaching but to have my advice be as accessible as possible. Especially to those who have had dealt with money hardships, but still want to give back to their communities. That way, you can focus on your mission to make the world a compassionate, diverse, and understanding place. So if you’re ready to enlist help to tackle your financial burdens (without cliché, condescending advice like “eat less avocado toast” or “don’t buy lattes”), please reach out for a complimentary consultation. https://calendly.com/billfoldbudget/initialconsultation
