If you’re over 40, you probably don’t fire up Venmo on the daily. But for many millennials, it’s hard to imagine life before the money transferring app. “I’ll Venmo you” has become deeply ingrained in the 20-something lexicon and the idea of using cash to split payments is virtually out of the question.
