A maid. I really donβt like cleaning. Iβm not very good at it, I miss a lot of things, I donβt have the attention span, etc. I do it because I have to. I donβt want to live in squalor but gosh, it would be nice to have somebody cleaning my house for me even if itβs just once a month.

A proper (CNC) milling machine and lathe, like ones you can work hardened steel with. Lots of better things you could buy for that money, but with a mill and lathe i could make those things for even more money!
Edit: oh and a proper garage/hobby room to put them in
A large property in the woods with a river running through it. I can literally setup my own mini power generation source if the stream is powerful enough. So I get to at least be partly off-grid.
Having a paid off mortgage
one of those freeze dryers to make infinite crunchy Skittles
They're so good but so expensive and the machine is like $3,000 π
Also one of those ~$500 IPL permanent hair removers
20 million dollars and a company idea
Eggs
No weeds in my garden. Kinda how the Teletubbies never dealt with crabgrass.
A flying car like on the Jetsons.
Unconditional love and support
Get a dog, you big lovable jerk.
I love the conditional love of my kibby. Conditional love is great when the conditions are easy to fulfill.
1: feed me
2: water me
3: scoop my poops
4: love me, but not too much
That's not a luxury, it's free.
free time
or any money at all, i can only seem to get one of the two
A house with a yard in a city with good subway access
What color do you want your dragon?

A full, refreshing night of sleep every night.
there is a pocket star trek novel i can't find a physical copy for less than 100 US dollars called "a stitch in time". for some reason they won't reprint it (they released an audiobook recently but i don't personally like reading books that are not physical paper books).
Yea I bought it on a whim when it came out cause I love DS9 and Garak. I've seen them as high as 200. Its crazy.

A house
I have a house. But it's old and decaying. I want a well-engineered, modern house with great interior design and lots of space. I want to be able to put the couch in the center of the room instead of putting it up against a wall.
I see the confusion here. Your mixing well engineered with modern.
I see houses all the time that are brand new construction or within the last 10 to 15 years perhaps all the way back to 08. The materials used are not what they used to be, regulations have gotten tighter and to cut costs contractors are building lesser quality homes. Everything creaks, is loose, cheap particle board and cheap plywood.
There is very little pride in craftsmanship in Contrustion, Contractor Work. Raw materials are of weaker quality and higher cost. If anyone is looking for quality housing look for pre 2008 homes. While this isn't a blanket statement, it covers 80 percent or more of modern housing that isn't concrete.

Having all my teeth.
"Luxury Bones"
Free healthcare.
Watches, sadly. There some beautiful pieces, and somehow the industry figured out how to ask for a houseβs worth of money for some of them
I got this for $70 online. It's from china and probably isn't well made but I absolutely love watching the little wheel go back and forth
it's sooo pretty!
(I messed it up the 2nd timezone when daylight savings time happened lol)
Looks rad, nice.
It is indeed pretty! :) Is it mechanical?
For 70 bucks, though, i would be hesitant. I just can't imagine finding a mechanic to fix it if need be, or what kind of shortcuts they had to make to create it.
Is that a moonphase display on the top there though?
It is indeed pretty! :)
thank you :)
Is it mechanical?
uhhh I know there is kinda some different definitions for the word "mechanical" so I'll describe what it does.
It needs to be winded, but there's a little weight on the back that spins as you move your arms. As the thing spins it winds the watch automatically
IIRC that feature is called "automatic"
For $70 I don't expect to wear it for years and years, but I haven't had any issues yet. When it eventually breaks I'm gonna try to fix it myself and probably fail haha
The moon thing just shows approximately how long the sun will be up, it doesn't have the full cycle :/
but I got it for mostly looks and it definitely fulfills its purpose :)
Then it's definitely mechanical! The main difference is if there is a spring drive in it that helps it tick away, or there is a quartz mechanism that (as it vibrates on a frequency) ticks the clock forward every second. So unless there is a battery in it that would vibrate the quartz, it is mechanical. This is the best way i can explain it.
But it's pretty nice it didn't fall apart in a few months. if you had it for years, i think it's awesome! :)

A well designed back yard with a gardener to help keep it nice and tidy. I fucking love flowers and landscaping, but I just can't do it myself.
Fresh clean sheets on a well made bed daily.
My wife wanted an ice maker. Thought it a silly idea but indulged her nonetheless. Well, turns out I freaking love it. Well worth the investment in my opinion

10,000 acres of land in the northern mountains, with all associated rights (mineral, water, etc.).
I really, really, really don't want to have neighbors. I already live in a rural area, and I still have neighbors 1/4 mile away that blast their music at 11pm loud enough to make out the lyrics. I want to be able to see the stars at night with no light pollution, and see wildlife that's barely seen people.
A personal datacenter with 3-digit terabytes of storage, terabytes of RAM, and 3-digit CPUs. Unless I win the lottery (and the safe withdraw rate on these investments are high enough), I won't be getting any of this.
Infinate free time
Infinite rice maker. Like instant.
A nugget ice machine. Nuggets ice is the perfect chewing ice - not too hard it will crack teeth, even consistency unlike crushed ice, firm like tight packed snow. It's like chewing on frosty heaven.
But it's absurdly expensive for what little it does. At least a couple hundred dollars for a counter top ice maker that does nothing but make perfect ice.
I bought a tabletop ice maker from Costco for $80 three years ago, and have never ever regretted it. It doesn't pull a lot of power and works pretty fast.
The downside is cleaning it, it's cheap so you can't easily break it down and rebuild it, so you've got to get creative.
Edit: I see you said "nugget" now, (which I don't exactly know what that means), but these ice pieces are not rock hard like refrigerator ice, fwiw.
