it just refers to a more distant time and period in your past, not your immediate past. So you wouldn't use "back in the day" if you're referring to something that you experienced last month. However, if you refer to a period of time in your past, like when you were in high school if you're in your twenties or college if you're older or before you got married or before you moved out of your parents home, then it would be appropriate to use the phrase.

Back when life was easier, and a lot more fun. Usually quite a few years back, often referring to a time full of fond memories.

The good ole' days. Often used by older people reflecting back to a time when they felt times were better or maybe even harder depending on the context in which it is used.
