How do you know that you've made it life? When you have a holiday home, a cleaner, and a hot tub (of course!)

If you own a holiday home, have a cleaner, take annual ski trips and have 2,000 followers on Twitter, congratulations...you've made it in life!

Owning a holiday home is apparently the top sign that

That's according to a new list of 50 things that show a couple has 'made it' in life by the company Synseal. Also making the list is Golf Membership, flying first class and owning a wine cellar.

A spokesperson for the home improvements group said the list was an "inspirational look at the things many of us would love to have in our own homes and lives and not all of them are simply daydreams".

Having a pedigree dog, a TV in every room, shopping at Waitrose and being on first name terms with the local pub Landlord also feature on the list.
