live the dream
Attain ideal existence
Live the dream means to experience an ideal life or achieve what others aspire to.
Often used sincerely about someone who has attained enviable success: He's living the dream—beach house, no boss, early retirement.
Just as often used ironically about mundane or disappointing circumstances: Another Monday morning meeting. Living the dream.
