In Finnish we have “kissanristiäiset” (literally means a cat’s christening), which means some trivial and meaningless celebration/event.

      Yes, to me , also in the US, “living the dream” is exclusively very sarcastic and means something like “is this really all there is to life.” People also use “another day in paradise.” Means the same thing.
