quality of life
How well off
Quality of life is the general well-being and satisfaction a person experiences—their health, comfort, happiness, and ability to do things they value.
The phrase appears often in medical contexts, where treatments are weighed against their effects on daily living: The surgery might extend his life, but what about his quality of life?
It also figures in discussions of cities, jobs, and social policy: The neighborhood has a high quality of life.
