Nog een prettig leven verder.


Explanation:
'Have a nice life' is often said with a bit of irony, because in fact you wish you'll never see the person again. If that's the case here, I wouldn't say 'Ik wens je nog een prettig leven verder' or something similar, because that sounds like you mean it.
