I'm settled vs I'm settled down

Both phrases are correct, but they're used in different contexts. 'I'm settled' is used to indicate that someone has found a place to live or work, or that they've made a decision. 'I'm settled down' indicates that someone's established a stable and comfortable life, often in the context of a long-term relationship or family life.
