Are you 'sitting pretty' now?

Yishu H.

There's an English phrase to describe one's good financial situation. 


Hello and welcome to Speak Good English with Yishu. Are you ready to learn today's phrase with me?

When we say someone is 'sitting pretty', we mean they are in a good situation, particularly financially. Let’s see some examples of other people who are 'sitting pretty'...

  • After selling our house for a large profit, we're now sitting pretty.
  • The rent on this flat is really cheap, so we're sitting pretty. 
  • He's been sitting pretty since he got the new job.

Today, we learned about a simple but very useful expression 'sitting pretty' which describes someone's favourable situation - it's often financial.  


Did you remember the phrase today? I am Yishu. See you tomorrow and bye for now!
