Settling Up with Squad Goals? Your Guide to Conquering Venmo
Let's face it, splitting the bill after brunch with your besties can be a logistical nightmare. Cash? Venmo? That awkward moment when someone forgot their wallet entirely? Fear not, fellow financial fumbler! This guide will turn you into a Venmo master, settling tabs smoother than your favorite mimosa.
Step 1: Download the App (Unless You're Living Under a Rock)
Okay, this might seem obvious, but let's not discriminate against those who accidentally wandered into the real world from a cave dwelling reality show. Venmo is a free app, available for most smartphones. Download it, sign up, and bam! You're halfway to Venmo Valhalla.
Step 2: Find Your Friend (The Social Butterfly Part)
Tip: Keep your attention on the main thread.
Here's where things get exciting (almost as exciting as that avocado toast you devoured). You can search for your friend by their username, phone number, or even their mystical QR code. Yes, QR codes are still a thing, and yes, they can magically connect you to your Venmo BFF.
Pro Tip: If your friend has a particularly awesome username (think "MemeQueen69" or "Burrito_Whisperer"), commit it to memory. It'll make future transactions that much more entertaining.
QuickTip: Repetition signals what matters most.

Step 3: Don't Be Shy, Hit Pay!

Now for the moment of truth. Enter the amount you owe (be honest, we all saw that extra side of bacon you ordered). Don't forget to add a witty note! Some classics include: "Thanks for sharing your bottomless mimosas!", "Next time, you're buying the lattes!", or the ever-reliable emoji string of laughter and money bags.
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
Step 4: Voila! You've Conquered Venmo!
Congratulations! You've successfully transferred funds to your friend. They'll receive a notification with a virtual high five (or maybe a sassy thumbs down, depending on the aforementioned bacon situation).
Bonus Round: Splitting the Bill Like a Boss
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
Let's say your brunch bill involved multiple entrees, endless mimosas, and a questionable side of truffle fries. No worries! Venmo allows you to split the bill amongst your entire group. Just tap the little "+" sign next to your friend's name and add everyone else involved in the financial fiasco.
Remember: With great financial power comes great responsibility. Use Venmo wisely, young grasshopper. And hey, maybe next time you'll be the one cashing in on those free mimosas!
