Owning a flat in London? We don\u2019t even think about it, homeownership became a mirage for our young generation and it\u2019s sad. But it would be shame not monetizing the situation.<\/p>\n

The world famous board game Monopoly just has launched its new version, a version entirely made for us.<\/p>\n

Instead of buying as much real estate as they can, players have to collect experiences. Experiences include Friend\u2019s couch, Vegan bistro or a weeklong meditation retreat.<\/em><\/p>\n

For the gameplay pieces you have the possibility to choose a hashtag or even a laughing\/crying emoji, CLICH\u00c9.<\/p>\n

Oh, and the tagline on the back of the board? \u2018Adulting is hard. You deserve a break from the rat race!\u2019<\/p>\n

So how do you, millennials, feel about this game? Are you ready to embrace your destiny and joke about it or is it too soon?<\/p>\n
