"Looks like you've made yourself a real good life"
Hey guys,

So, I was reminiscing my High School days in this rainy weather, listening to Trisha Yearwood's "Georgia Rain".

In the song, there is a part that goes,
"The screen door flappin' in the wind
Same old house I grew up in
Can't believe I'm back again
After all these years away
You fixed your daddy's house up nice
Saw it yesterday while I drove by
Looks like you've made yourself a real good life
What else can I say?"

I realize this is a country song so the expression "looks like you've made yourself a real good life" might be southern(?) but what are some other ways to say this?

Thanks guys.

Answer

"You've done well." or "You've done well for yourself." would work in that context too.
