Describes the carefree, easy existence of moneyed young Brits; those teens and young adults supported entirely by unearned sources of income, esp. from parents/grandparents. Akin to the American "trust fund kid" existence, stipend life does not necessarily require a large amount of money and can be achieved through some combination of mooching from relatives, expecting others (but never other stipend lifers, as this would be taken as a sign of poverty) to finance things, borrowing heavily from family and occasional casual work (usually cut short by stipend lifers lack of motivation/discipline for anything not involving pleasure). Stipend life involves being proudly out of touch with normality. Stipend lifers bond by mocking ordinary, working people and their daily tribulations. Travelling must be in business or first class, if available, or private jet if stipend extends to this. Summers in luxurious resorts (e.g. Monaco, Cadaques, St. Tropez).
Time not spent entirely in the pursuit of pleasure is generally spent collecting degrees, travelling or engaging in some sort of exclusive hobby (e.g. learning to fly, playing polo or motorsports) or working on some vanity project.
Stipend life motto is, "A Mercedes, however acquired, is still a Mercedes", and the traditional shibboleth of of stipend lifers is, "Stipend life is good life".
"That kid is such a prat, but what do you expect, he lives stipend life".
"I wish I had a stipend life, working at KFC is really shit".
"Woo-hoo, grandad's died, stipend life for me".
"He thinks working for minimum wage means living just off your main trust fund and doing no mooching, typical stipend lifer".

Can either refer to a lifestyle or a period in your life where you're generally (but not entirely) stress-free and have minimal obligations to meet. Often involves engaging in healthy routines, hobbies and personal passions.
When you live the soft life, you're at the top of the Maslow's hierarchy of needs pyramid, which can either be the result of being affluent or under special circumstances that allows one to flourish (see example below).
I was living the soft life back in 2020 and 2021. While covid was a major stressor to many people's lives, the combination of remote schooling + lighter course load + job layoffs + gov't money (e.g. stimulus checks, CERB) resulted in a relatively stress-free lifestyle, where I could concentrate more on my passions (music & photography) and less on studying or working. Minute stressors still existed, but in the grand scheme of things, it was a calm and carefree life that lasted for two years.

when a person's everyday life is filled with exciting adventures it is said that they are living the mission life. Also when a person completes a series of hard tasks every day, they also are living the mission life.
Nikan dropped 25 cents on the ground and picked it up while he was drunk off tequila , he is living the mission life.

When a corporation intentionally limits what you can/cannot do with your electronic device and people just passively accept that as life.
C'mon Apple, we've been living the dongle life for years, carrying all these extra cables and adapters with us only because we have one damn port. I think about it's time that we (the consumers) had enough of this.
