British people believe losing a stone in weight, performing live on stage, travelling to 25 foreign countries and earning more than your age are all crucial in order to ‘live life to the full’.
Spending time with children, having a one-night stand and staying up all night drinking also feature on the new list of 50 achievements we feel we need to do at least once, along with finding true love and being married for more than 20 years.
Researchers compiled the list – which also includes doing a bungee jump, dating someone exciting but completely wrong for you, blowing money on a spontaneous shipping trip and going on holiday twice a year – by questioning 2,000 adults about what makes a ‘full’ life.
Trying all types of food, experiencing different cultures, having a degree, owning a pet and visiting all of Britain’s historical landmarks were also hailed as ‘essential’.

A plastic surgery addict injected cooking oil into her face when doctors refused to give her any more silicone.
Former model Hang Mioku has been left permanently disfigured following the DIY beauty treatment. After injecting an entire bottle of black market silicone into her face, Hang resorted to using cooking oil that left her face severely swollen and scarred.
Her plights was featured on Korean television and viewers donated thousands of pounds to pay for corrective surgery. During the first of 10 operations, surgeons removed 60g of silicone, oil and other foreign substances from her face and 200g from her neck.
However, Hang is still disfigured and she said she wishes she could have her old face back.
Hang had her first procedure aged 28 and then moved to Japan where she had repeated treatments.
She quickly became obsessed with having smoother and softer skin. Doctors eventually refused to carry out any more work on her after her face became noticeably enlarged.
