Status symbols have changed over the past 30 years, with things considered a symbol in the 1980s now being common today.

Some of the status symbols from the 80s include a color TV, two cars, a cordless phone, a car phone and a dishwasher… all things that are common today.

The only thing that was a symbol in the 80s and remains today is having kids at private or boarding school.

Other status symbols from today include having a second home, a designer watch, a nanny and a swimming pool at home.
