Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward adjective+noun composition: 'jammy' (remarkably lucky) modifies 'life' (a way of living), so the meaning 'a life characterized by luck/comfort' is directly derivable from the constituents. This follows ordinary compositional patterns common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand the expression.
Etymology
The expression jammy life comes from the image of a jammy life being as sweet and easy as jam on bread, because to call something 'jammy' means it is 'lucky' or 'easy'. So jammy life means 'a life of comfort, ease, and good luck'.
