not have a care in the world

Blissfully without worries

To not have a care in the world is to be free from worry or anxiety, blissfully unconcerned with problems: She strolled through the park like she didn't have a care in the world.

The phrase often describes someone whose ease contrasts with circumstances that might trouble others, or a carefree state others might envy.
