A girl breaks up with a bad boyfriend. You want to tell her that she will be much happier without him, so say "you're better off without him"

Also please note, the opposite expression also works:
"My new job pays more, but gives much less benefits, so I'm worse off."

Welcome to the forum.
SpanishPal has a great example. Also, "I got fired from a job that I hated, so I´m better off."

In Spanish it is simply "mejor", and it is used when things are better (especially about money and love), when you are more fortunate.
