The Hi-5 Banking Method

Sahirenys Pierce is a financial educator, content creator, and author of The High-5 Banking Method. She will share why so many people struggle with money management despite having access to more financial advice than ever before. She breaks down her refreshingly simple "2 Checking, 3 Savings" system, built from her own experience navigating nearly $100K in debt and her son's open heart surgery. We explore how educators can use this framework to meet people where they are, why banking structure matters just as much as budgeting, and how to make financial literacy feel accessible for first-generation families and underbanked communities. Whether you're teaching in a classroom, leading a workshop, or mentoring one-on-one, this conversation will give you a practical tool your audience can actually stick with.
