fat city
Comfortable financial situation
Fat city is a state of great comfort, prosperity, or easy circumstances—having it made.
The phrase emerged in American slang around the mid-twentieth century and carries a slightly ironic or exaggerated tone: Win this contract and we're in fat city.
It suggests not just success but cushioned, worry-free abundance.
