I feel like my three wishes would be pretty basic. My first wish would be to be a millionaire WITHOUT anyone knowing. I don't want to live a lavish life, but I would love to not have to worry about money in the first place. Thus the secrecy. I would find a good accountant, have them help me get up safe and give myself a monthly stipend that would make my life quite good. I mean, yes I would buy a decent little house, but not a perfect house, and I would pay off some debts, but I also don't want anyone asking me to lend money. I can be generous, but I want it to be on my own terms and when I think it's something worthwhile. And yet, I can be a bit of a sucker Thus why the monthly stipend, so that I would still have to watch how much I spend. I am not very impulsive with my money, but that is something I have to work at not being.

After that, I would spend my other two wishes on myself and my sister. We both have found health conditions that are unfortunately chronic and while mine doesn't exactly affect day to day life, it does endanger a dream of mine to have a family one day. My sister's condition does affect her life, and I would love for her to be free of it. I do think I have to use a wish on each of us, so it does limit me, but I think with these three wishes, I would be in a place to be genuinely happy.

Oh the first thing I would have definitely wished for, was to have a notepad and a pen. Seems like a very simple wish so the genie would 100% do it without questioning anything in this regard.

Then, I would play a trick on him and asked for every single thing that I write in the said notepad to come true. I would still stick in line to his rules. What I would have written there, would be 100 genies and that would mean I would end up having way more wishes than I could have phantom, 300 to be exact

If I find a magic lamp and free the Genie, I will ask him to grant these wishes. First, I want to get a lot of money to travel to places that I really want to visit. I love travelling but sometimes money is the BIG problem for me to visit many place. Second, I really want an invisible cloak. Most times I don’t really like being in the center of attention, it freaks me out. So if I have the cloak like the one Harry owned then it would be great. I am also a curious person, I can do many things without being noticed by people if I ever have the cloak. Well, I will only use it for good things. Lastly, can Genie teleport me to one of my fantasy book’s worlds? I guess he can do it. I often read books and imagine what it's like to live there.

I get three wishes? Wonderful!

My first wish would be for my brother to be healthy. He sees eleven specialists for serious chronic issues which profoundly affect his life, and I would love nothing more than for him to have a do-over.

For my second wish, I would like to have a bank account of about 100 million. I would buy a nice house in a good neighborhood and hire a full time cook, chauffer, and housekeeper. I would use 80 million to fund a quality no kill animal shelter.

My third wish would be that all forms of Cancer are wiped from the face of this earth. I've lost too many people, and it's horrifying to think of children suffering, and even dying, from this!

[Ellie Vernez]

If I found the lamp and released the genie giving me three wishes.

I think my first one would be to wish for me to become a millionare. Which I would then use for me and my family to live life comfortably instead of constantly worrying about money and feeling guilty about buying something we dont need but would like for a treat.
I would also donate money to different charities for other people struggling out there.

My second wish would be to cure the human race of all diseases and illnesses so they would only die of old age or accidents. So no cancer or heart disease, nothing like that.

My last wish would be to set the genie free. Because no one deserves like in enslavement, they deserve their own life.
