The term " Living The Life Of Riley" comes from a 18th century family in Ireland that was so wealthy that they printed their own currency that was accepted throughout Europe. Hence the term "Living the life of Riley (maybe spelled Reily) means living a life of luxury, good luck and fortune. It would then be true that the Radio show of the 1920's was named after this family also. this is the story that my Irish Family passed down over the years. We are the Jones / Burke Family, from Kilkenny, Ireland
