Anything goes but I’m particularly interested in habits/practices/abillities that are real and otherwise can be developed with time and effort.
Keeping living space clean at all times
Time.
Have you seen the movie “In Time” about this very thing? Rich people live forever and wealth is accumulated as the duration you can live for. It’s a cool concept and a pretty good movie.
Yes! Low key underrated movie
Is it anything like Logan’s run?
Cyberpunk dystopia. They share that.
Sound like a good idea, but turning immortality pay to win could, in the worst case, make it, so that only the rich can afford it. And thereby only creating an even greater constantly increasing devide between the population.
That also makes me think of Alrered Carbon, which covered that concept quite interestingly.
A once off time rewind by 28 years.
A house by the lake would be nice. Perhaps an island as well.
I would definitely go for a recursive island. It’s an island with a lake, that has an island.
Turns out there’s a ton of them in Finland.
There I would build my house: by a private lake, with a summer house on the private island on the private lake.
By private do you mean “Already inhabited by 12 billion mosquitos”?
It’s unfortunelately really hard to get a building permit on a island. They’re virtually always vacation home plots. Funnily enough though islands are usually cheaper than the equivalent size of land on the mainland.
Of everywhere I traveled, my favorite place in the world to visit was Samosir Island in Lake Toba.
So it’s a lake island in a volcanic lake on the Island of Sumatra in the worlds biggest Island country (Indonesia).
Its not a private Island and there are people living there and even tourists coming regularly. But getting to it is quite the effort, so I call it reclusive in that way.
Apart from world peace (of course), a change gender voucher. Would probably cost 300 gems or something.
I second the change gender voucher. But a character makeover ticket would be even better.
In what ways are you unsatisfied with your current gender?
they probably suffer from gender dysphoria
A home
Same

A house in the woods.
Speaking and reading all languages.
Mastering all instruments.
Learning the Cha-cha
Inhumanity, by way of a new body. The human body is genuinely just awful and I’d love to have something better.
I think I’d quite like to be a free-floating cloud of quantum dots.
The vacant lot west of my house.
Proficiency in Ancient Greek, Avestan, Hittite, Old Church Slavonic, Sanskrit, and Tocharian A.
Yes, this can be developed with enough time and effort, but I’m no elf to live a millennium and resources for those languages are awful to find.
Sodalicious fruit snacks.
Wouldn’t Tocharian B be better?
With A you could read mostly Buddhist scriptures that already exist in other languages, but with B you could read more historically-relevant secular works.
Frankly I’d be a happy camper with either. My focus isn’t too much on what those languages were used for, but on Proto-Indo-European reconstruction; having more points of reference is always useful.
(That said you’re right that Toch. B would be better - it seems to be more conservative. I thought that it was the opposite.)
All the birth control companies.
And then give it away for free.
I’d buy all my time and my kids’, so I could spend their entire childhood with them.
I guess I only need to get rid of my student debt, buy a house, a car that doesn’t break down, then I’ll buy some friends, I’ll buy a nice paying job with a career in my field of expertise and I’ll grab some charisma and friend making skills at the checkout
I’d buy more money, obviously.
Cryptocurrency scammers have entered the chat.

A nice piece of land and design my own house to build there
