Good luck in/with... ?

This is for a message card for a coworker who is leaving the company.

1. Good luck in (with?) your new life.

2. Good luck in (with?) the next chapter of your life.

Do "in" and "with" work in the both sentences?

I would only use "in".

So would I.

You can use 'good luck with' like this:

SON: 'The lottery's a rollover tonight. I'm buying extra tickets.'

DAD: 'Good luck with that.'

I have no problem with "with." Regional variation, perhaps?

I'm with Barb here. I'd probably use "in," but "with" is an option.

Good luck in/with... ?
