Broke and on Venmo? Don't Despair! (But Maybe Consider Making Ramen)
Ah, the joys of modern technology! With Venmo, splitting the bill with friends is a breeze, sending rent to your landlord is a cinch... and accidentally buying that limited-edition llama pi�ata online becomes a hilariously expensive memory (don't judge, we've all been there). But what happens when the Venmo well runs dry and you're staring down an empty bank account like a duel with a particularly judgmental cactus?
Fear not, fellow financially-flexible friend! While Venmo itself doesn't offer loans, there are a few creative (and hopefully responsible) ways to get yourself back in the black:
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.

| How To Borrow Money Venmo |
1. The Friend Zone: A Delicate Dance
- Step 1: Assess your squad. Who's the friend with a bottomless mimosa fund and a heart of gold? Who's more likely to lecture you about budgeting than lend you a tenner? Choose wisely, grasshopper.
- **Step 2: Craft the perfect Venmo request. Avoid the generic "need cash lol" and opt for something more heartfelt and specific. "Emergency burrito fund? " or "Helping a friend in need (it's me, I'm the friend) " might do the trick.
- Pro tip: Always offer to pay them back with interest (friendship points, homemade cookies, your eternal gratitude – get creative!). Nobody likes a deadbeat, not even your most generous friend.
2. The "Sell Stuff You Don't Need (But Totally Loved Once)" Garage Sale
QuickTip: Revisit key lines for better recall.
- Dust off those old textbooks you swore you'd use "someday" (spoiler alert: that day never comes).
- Unearth that "vintage" (read: slightly dusty) clothing collection from high school.
- Channel your inner Marie Kondo and spark joy (and maybe a few bucks) by letting go of things that no longer bring you joy (or fit).
3. The Power of the Side Hustle
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.

- Dog walking, online tutoring, freelance writing – the internet is a treasure trove of gig opportunities.
- Bonus points for monetizing your hobbies. Are you a baking ninja? Sell your delicious creations! A coding whiz? Offer your services on freelance platforms.
- Remember, every little bit counts!
Remember: Borrowing money should always be a last resort. Before hitting up your friends (or resorting to selling your llama pi�ata collection), explore all your options, create a budget, and commit to getting back on track.
And hey, if all else fails, there's always ramen. It's cheap, it's filling, and it might just inspire you to whip up a culinary masterpiece that you can sell online (see point 3).
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
Stay solvent, friends!
