How do you pronounce finance?

Do you pronounce finance as fin-nance or as fine-ance? I had always pronounced it as fine-ance, but I heard a lot of people say fin-nance while I was working NYC this summer, especially when using the term as a verb. Is one better than the other? Does pronouncing it one way come off differently than pronouncing it the other way?

"Synergy_or_Syzygy" "This is FI-nance. FI as in “FIx me a drink, Jeeves.” FI as in “FIlling my wallet with Benjamins.” FI as in “FIckle with my private jets.” Not FI as in “FIt really well when I tried it on at the mall in Piscataway.” Ugh."
