set for life
Never working again
Set for life describes having enough money or security to never need to work or worry about finances again.
The phrase usually refers to sudden wealth—lottery winnings, inheritance, a lucrative settlement: If this startup sells, we're set for life.
It can apply to non-financial security: With tenure, she's set for life.
