well-off

Having ample means

Well-off means having plenty of money—comfortably wealthy without necessarily being rich: Her parents are well-off enough to pay for private school.

The term suggests financial security rather than extravagance.

Less commonly, well-off can mean fortunate in general circumstances: You don't know how well-off you are.
