Feel like a million bucks

To feel exceptionally good, healthy, confident, or successful; to experience a state of physical and emotional well-being.

This American phrase emerged in the 1930s during the Great Depression, when a million dollars represented unimaginable wealth. The specific figure 'million bucks' (rather than 'million dollars') adds colloquial warmth to what could be a cold monetary reference.
