Would-will

Hi everybody,

I would like to know whether the sentences have the same meaning,

#1 Living wth friends would be a happy life.

#2 Living with friends will be a happy life.

Thank you

Hi goat, Will sometimes can express certainty or confidence about present or future situations. g: Tomorrow will be cloudy, with some rain. Would is sometimes used as a softer, less definite form of will, or in some cases as the past of will.
