Have you 'made it' in life? This list claims to tell you if you have

The widely shared list has been subject to online backlash today.

ARE YOU A member of your local tennis club? Do you own multiple gilets? Regularly pig out on lobster? If so, you may have “made it”, according to a list commissioned by UK conservatory windows manufacturer Synseal.

The list contains fifty signs that a couple has made it in life and let’s just say some of the signs are totally insane/unattainable.

A spokesman for Synseal said of the list:

The results show a quirky mix of items and status symbols that suggest the signs of a successful life. It’s an aspirational 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.

The list was picked up by several media outlets…

…so naturally there was a backlash on social media, with many taking issue with the bonkers criteria for having “made it” in life.

It even spawned this rebuttal in the Independent.
