Posted on February 4, 2019 by Dave Ashton

Have you “made it”?

A new survey in Metro asked people for the signs that you’ve “made it” in life, i.e. a success…here’s the top 10:

Being able to retire early
Not having to work
Owning a vacation home or second home
Having a private plane (or at least being able to fly business class)
Being able to spontaneously take a fancy vacation
Sending your kids to private school
Having a housekeeper
Eating at expensive restaurants
Having a platinum credit card
Having a wine cellar

Other signs include getting massages, owning a hot tub or large TV, having a personalized license plate and having time to volunteer.

Some attainable ones here…so do you think you’ve “made it”?
