: : Hi, could you tell me if the correct way of saying the following.

: : "enjoy the finer things of life"
: : or
: : "enjoy the finer things in life"

: : Please return my email and let me know.

: : thanks

: 'Of' life is the one I would use, although the 'in' version is OK. Perhaps this a regional preference?

I've always heard "the finer things in life." I'm in the U.S.
