Granted! You've enrolled your kids, but they grow up wanting to be career McDonald's employees (free Big Macs!) instead of going to college.
I wish I could exchange those 100,000 confederate dollars for modern U.S. currency, and come back to life.

Granted. Of course, that CSA$100,000, adjusted for inflation, comes out to about US$100. Oh, and after being dead for most of the last 100 years, you smell really bad.
I wish people would be more generous.

Granted! You have the abiblity to fix the low-voltage lights under your kitchen cabinets. Unfortunately, in order to fix them, you will need a special discontinued part that needs to be special ordered and shipped from Bangladesh on a slow boat.

Granted! You have enough money to bribe NASA into placing your ashes aboard the next spacecraft bound for the outer planets.

Granted, you teach chemistry in one of the rougher public high schools in the Distric of Columbia. Your students just doused you with benzene and ignited you.

I wish I'd started graduate school right out of college and started my career six years sooner.

Granted. You're the most technology advance homeless vagrant in the park outside the Arlington County Courthouse -- a free public wi-fi hot spot.
Bring a blanket, it's getting cold.
I wish someone would steal my wife's VW so I could cash in the insurance and buy a Toyota or a BMW.

I wish the new puppy wouldn't use the house for a potty.
