The amount of money a person has in the bank is not necessarily proportional to how happy he is. Numerous studies have shown that happiness is a state of mind, not always dependent upon the amount of money a person earns or has. In fact, studies have shown that "People with above-average income ... are barely happier than others in moment-to-moment experience, tend to be more tense, and do not spend more time in particularly enjoyable activities." All the money in the world would be useless if a person isn’t happy! So, Genie, happiness would be one of the wishes I would ask for.
