    A 10 minute walk to work so I could avoid the horrendously over crowded tube every morning. Also a cook on hand who can make healthy food taste delicious!

    Yacht in a marina somewhere in the south of France. Bigger enough to live on.
    If you ever want to see someone living the dream, Google Eddie Irvine and Yacht.
    Heavens above some people have the life. Think I might start doing the lottery again.

    The funds to be able to fly first class every time I travel. Or better still, a private jet.

    I'd say it makes flying long haul a totally bearable experience. Those private cabins some airlines have on the new Airbus planes look amazing too. You can make a show of yourself in the privacy of your own room! It would be hard to justify the cost of it though, unless you're super rich.

    I'd love to just every so once in a while have a day to myself. It would be so nice to have no one to think of but me, from the moment I woke till bedtime. Nobody wanting me to do something for them, nobody needing a lift somewhere. I'd be quite happy to spend the day reading a good book and drinking tea. Someone to hand me food would be nice too :)

    And that's exactly why I will be moving down to Stoneyisland in the coming years. Dublin can do the robot-rush as much as it likes, I'm outa here. Peace and quiet on the lake chilling the day away on my small boat or canoe, fcuking rat-race.

    A helicopter. I am determined to someday own a helicopter. I don't care if I never fly first class, never have IRFU Patrons' Club (season) tickets, or never drive a sports car.

    I.want.a.helicopter.

    They're expensive, but not outrageously expensive, so this is achievable if you work very hard and forego luxuries such as children, food, mortgages, etc.

    You know that feeling when you put on a brand new pair of socks?

    That. A new pair of socks to wear everyday.

    If I ever won the lotto, id never wear the same pair of socks twice.

    Any of the things my parents generation took for granted and are now beyond the reach of the average person, such as a reasonable sized house in a decent area and a pensionable job with reasonable prospects, the ability to put aside and save money maybe have a holiday now and then, basically not be up the walls with stress and anxiety all the time.

    Glazers Out!

    So far most folk are being very greedy and want too much, this is why you cannot have them all. A simple request for 1 thing only and I might just give you your wish. Greediness will get you nothing but a lost wish.

    Some person told me a while ago that they wanted the moon, the stars in the sky. I bought this person a telescope. It didn't work out for him either.

    There's no such thing as being very greedy, only not working hard enough or lacking sufficient opportunities.

    You can only work to a certain limit before you burn out on a low wage as well. It takes more than physical work to suck the money into the trunk. Invent something and patent it is the only way to suck the paper in.

    The person that invented the hoover done exactly that.

    I'd love a stylist/shopper. I reckon I could look pretty good if I scrubbed up but I hate shopping and I find it hard to put an outfit together without looking like a bag lady.

    Which is why I included the part about lacking opportunity. Some people have a Trojan work ethic, but lack the education, raw intelligence, or connections to get ahead, or they simply have "bad luck" in the sense of either making a series of poor decisions (choosing the wrong option from A and B though minimal fault of their own) or getting shafted by those with power over them (teachers, bosses, interviewers, etc.).

    There are a lot of circumstances which can lead to a person not being able to reach the financial level they'd like.
