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.
Ah, I see you have a Samsung refrigerator.
My Thermador is no different, shitty ice maker.
Heated foot bath. They're not that expensive, but its real roman emperor hours if you work from home and can have a jacuzzi for your feet.
Bread maker. Fresh bread all the time with minimal effort. Takes too much space and isn't worth the spend
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.
No I'm not confused about that. I have seen the problems you talk about. That's why I felt the need to qualify modern with "well engineered".
Private Jet. Not because I want to live like a billionaire but because I friggin hate going through TSA and lately every time I travel the airlines seem to have little value-add over just driving.
TSA Precheck. Yes, itβs borderline extortion but it really is a LOT faster and more stress free at major hubs.
Weekly pedicures.
That's actually pretty attainable!
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.
Proper espresso bar with a good grinder, machine, and all the meme accessories
Don't let your memes be dreams. I have a budget set up and definitely make better espresso than most cafes.
Once you get good at it at home, it gets hard to justify buying coffee out, ever. Paying like $6 USD for something you can make better at home.
The Nintendo Switch 2.
Air travel where I'm treated better than a livestock transport.
Luxury hack: just add money /s
This is an efficient method, yes, but it's doable without money: If you fly enough you rack up enough bonus points to upgrade for free.
Source: Done it plenty of times. If the flight is four hours or more, that's when I consider spending my points.

Kitty holsters. A kitten in a holster on each side. Ready for anything as long as i got my kitty holsters
How about a hammock chest holster, so you're always snuggling?
I fucking love this
A personal library. A room dedicated to the purpose.
I've wanted someone to invent this for years.
It looks like a blank book. Pages feel and smell like paper. Insert a disc and text appears on the pages. Any book you want with the feel of a book and the convenience of an e-reader.
I just bought a house with a 12x12 room in the back of the upstairs for my gf to create exactly this. She loves it. Has a rocking chair, blanket, and a half dozen bookcases filled up.
I hope you get the same one day!

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 will never regret having purchased one, after leveraging the cost of getting drinks from Sonic to have access to the ice it seemed to make sense, now we just don't eat out anymore.
The Romans would have thought that even Kings did not enjoy such luxuries as an ice maker. They would be all "what sorcery is this?!"

A full, refreshing night of sleep every night.
There are certain 12" records which despite only having one it two songs in them go for ludicrous prices, in the hundreds. I'd quite like to have those please.
Having all my teeth.

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.
