By definition of Cambridge Dictionaries Online
The word 'better' means
comparative of good: of a higher quality or more enjoyable than someone or something else
By most dictionaries, better off means better economically.
For example:
"The better–off people live in the older section of town."
By some dictionaries, better off can also mean the same as just the word better
For example:
"Steve’s an idiot – you’d be better off without him."
In this example above, better off is used just like better. Am I right?
So what's the difference between "better" and "better off"?
In what contexts would using "better off" be better(or better off) than just using "better"?
