About Me

LOVE WHAT YOU DO. DO WHAT YOU LOVE

Hi my loves, I’m Sahirenys (Sai-ren-ese) Pierce, the content creator behind Poised Finance & Lifestyle and the creator of the High 5 Banking Method—a simple system to help families organize their finances with purpose. I started this platform to empower millennial women and first-generation families to balance their finances and lifestyle without stress.

As a proud Dominican-American daughter of immigrants, I understand what it’s like to navigate financial uncertainty. My family’s journey through the ups and downs of money deeply shaped how I live today. I created the High 5 Banking Method to give families tools to save intentionally, spend mindfully, and build generational wealth—one decision at a time.

My Background

My path to personal finance started after my family was heavily impacted by the 2008 recession. That experience led me to pursue a degree in finance at California State University Northridge, where I earned a BS in Finance with an emphasis in Financial Planning.

Before launching Poised, I worked at financial service firms like Merrill Lynch, MetLife, and Ameriprise, helping clients understand their money. Today, I use that knowledge to simplify money management for busy households.

I live in San Diego, CA with my husband and our two children. When I’m not writing about finance or filming content, you’ll find me building family traditions—like cooking for our weekly meal prep or Appetizer Night, taking photos, or watching comedies.
