- Нам бы только до Черных гор добраться, а уж там мы пойдем прямиком к Черногору и будем жить у него в замке, – говорил Вьюн. – Я слышал, у него даже яблоки в саду золотые. ***Вот это житуха!*** А потом я стану первым министром или палачом устроюсь работать. А чего? Я смогу. Мне нравится такая работа, все тебя будут бояться.
Из разговора школьников-лоботрясов. Может, немного сленга не помешает?

Talk about having a life! Talk about a good life! Ain't that the life? Ain't that living it up?
Варианты более разговорные и сленговые - думаю, подойдут как раз!

: This expression is closely identified with contemporary American slang used by a relatively narrow demographic group (white males about 14-30). It is already passing out of usage and will soon be relegated to the linguistic trash heap.
