Yes, if you were wealthy, which in any society is the minority of the people. Most of the information from that time about the life of the people is about the wealthy. For the majority, most of the people, there is less information. The Roman Empire expanded to include most of Europe and northern Africa. They were successful 'occupiers' because they believed in incorporating the people of the occupied regions into the society and the military that they brought with them. Much of the visible works of the Roman elite were to be used and enjoyed by everyone, the roads, the buildings and monuments. Most of the common people appeared to be able to make a living. The Roman Empire also employed slaves whose lives (whether good or bad) would depend on their individual situation. A few slaves of the Empire were able achieve and accomplish on their own merit, but for the most part, their lives were tied to the lives and fortunes of their owners.

There was no successor in the west besides a thing called the Holy Roman Empire which had nothing to do with ancient Rome. In the east it was the Ottoman empire.
They had a good Army
No similarities. The Roman Empire was an ancient empire and the Carolingian Empire was a medieval one and therefore related to two totally different societies. The only thing was that Latin was the language of the church, bureaucrats and intellectuals.
they had a good army and have good leaders.

Please clarify your question. The word "who" refers to a person, the word "empire" is a thing. Are you asking about an emperor or the size of the empire?
You have to be more specific as to what you mean by the "Byzantine Empire". If you are asking about the eastern part of the Roman empire, which historians have dubbed "Byzantine" (after the city of Byzantium), be aware that there was no such thing. It was the Roman empire-- period. Historians used the term Byzantine when they were referring to the eastern parts of the Roman empire in order to differentiate between the two areas of the empire.
There is no such thing as a western Byzantine Empire, only an east (Byzantine) and west Roman Empire.
Voltaire said the Holy Roman Empire was not 'Holy, Roman, or an Empire.'
