well-to-do

Comfortably off, prosperous

Well-to-do describes people who are prosperous and financially comfortable—not necessarily wealthy, but comfortably above average.

The term has an old-fashioned, genteel quality: a well-to-do family from the suburbs, well-to-do retirees.

It suggests established, respectable prosperity rather than flashy new money.
