v. To have a happy life without hard work, problems or worries.
Some scholars argue that this Riley (originally spelt "Reilly") referred to the character that appeared in a song written by Pat Rooney in 1890. In the song Riley says if he ever became the President of the US then "New York" would "swim in wine when the White House and Capitol are mine."
Some others argue that it was an American poet by the name of James Whitcomb Riley who gave rise to this idiom.

The poems told the stories of young boys lazing around during the summer without a care in the world — wandering about barefoot, swimming in the river and fishing.

To live your life is to say to do something, especially to get a job or do your work. Only your friends would mean it in a fun way. Life is a word people are scared and confused of which helps brands to make people buy their items by confusing them.
