leisured
Not pressed for time
Leisured describes having ample free time, especially as a permanent condition rather than a temporary break.
It typically characterizes people of wealth or privilege who don't need to work: the leisured class, a leisured existence.
The word carries connotations of ease and comfort that leisure alone doesn't quite capture.
