good life
Living well, thriving
The good life is an existence marked by comfort, pleasure, and freedom from hardship—fine food, leisure, material abundance: After years of struggle, they were finally living the good life.
The phrase can also carry philosophical weight, referring to a life well-lived according to virtue, purpose, or meaning rather than mere pleasure.
