I am living / live

1) I am living a happy life.

2) I live a happy life.

I have heard that usually the word live is not used as present progressive, but I think that #1 is also okay to use in some context, isn't it? And then when do you think #1 or #2 is fine to use? Could you tell me any situations?

Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.

Hans51 I have heard that usually the word live is not used as present progressive, Somebody has given you incorrect information. Hans51 And then when do you think #1 or #2 is fine to use? The progressive form has more of an idea of limited duration.
