living the dream
Perfect life achieved
Living the dream describes a life of success, fulfillment, or ease—often sarcastically.
Genuine use celebrates having achieved one's aspirations: He's got the beach house, the boat, living the dream.
More commonly, it's ironic shorthand for tedious routine or quiet desperation: How's work? Oh, you know, living the dream.
