      Easy street is a pretty old term in the US. I don’t think I have heard it commonly used since the 90s. It basically means you’re set financially, you don’t have to work for it.

      Easy listening is like Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennet, Nat King Cole.

      An easy chair is big and comfy, and usually soft and fluffy.

      I think all of these terms are older, and not really used much now. Well, except for easy money.
