After spending a week in the UP, I would be buying a summer house there. I would love to open up a little roadside motel with little cabins and turn it into a resort type of place. Like a KOA campground, minus the camping. Have a little fabric and yarn shop plus a bakery and produce stand.
That's my dream these days.

As much as I love our bungalow-style house (we've lived here nearly 37 years) all the stairs are beginning to get to us. We have 2 bedrooms upstairs, 2 on the main floor, but our laundry room is in our walk-out basement. And our garage is detached and requires going down stairs and walking a bit to get to it. A one-story home with an attached garage would better suit our needs now that we are in our 70's. And while I'm at it I'll take a landscape crew to keep our yard looking nice. Beyond that, I'd help family members and I'd love to be able to contribute to causes that are close to my heart.

I'd like to get married. We've been together 6 years and at this point it's mostly money stopping us.
I'd like to buy a house. I worry that if anything happens to me and i dont beat this cancer OH wouldn't be able to keep up the rent on our current home. And I would just love to have a small garden where we can go and sit outside and enjoy nature. I don't want anything big or flashy! Just a space that's ours.

A private jet with a pilot on call for me. That way I could go visit my family and friends on any whim.

A house by the sea with a built in recording studio and new drum shells, preferably Ludwig in a beautiful wood. Maybe a few extra Paiste cymbals. And then I'd rock out! Of course, I would also make sure the house had a built in library with a ladder for my husband. And a good set of ear protection...

Dream house with barn and a green house with an indoor heated pool. Parts of the house would be for dh too. The pool is more for him and dd who both love to swim. A tractor for dh.

A family compound somewhere with nice weather. But beyond that I have a dream of opening a mental health practice for children and youth that’s based around storytelling, art, and drama therapy that would be free to participate in and have a lounge for parents and a playground and some other stuff. Wow! I really like this <3

Unlimited money? I'd live in a way to make royalty jealous. Ideally I'd buy a tropical island, build a house for me with an indoor pool and a smallish but sensational stable for some horses; and a house for each of my kid's families. We would all retire and live on the island. There would be a small community of other inhabitants which would be our staff and their families. Off hand we would need/want house staff, gardeners, stable keeper and a flight crew for the private jet

I would pay off BFs truck, and pay his medical bills from a work accident last summer (no work comp 😡)
I’d pay off the house we moved into 4 weeks ago.
But DD the Jeep she wants
Quit working
Set up full college funds for my 3 little cousins so their parents don’t have to worry for later.

Now that I'll be an empty nester come September, I'd become a snowbird and buy a house in the Caribbean or on the coast in the South to use January-March. I'd buy DH a boat.

I'd buy myself a million airline miles so I could travel a ton and do so in business or first class. Hmmm, maybe 2 millions miles....

I would buy a custom(designed by me) 400-ish square foot tiny house and a vehicle with enough power to tow it.

I really want a rain shower head for my bathroom. I have a nice one but I would like a better one. It's a very low priority but one day I think I would like that. We saw lots of them in Europe. They felt very nice.

Someone to be my personal assistant, house-keeper and organizer.
That way, I could spend more time with those I love. Me too! Plus a lodge/cabin in the mountains where extended family and friends can gather.

A house with an in-laws suite so I can have my parents close to me. Also health and RX insurance for said parents so at 78 they can finally stop working to pay for health insurance while so many free loaders get it for free.

First - I'd "buy" or pay off all my debt and my children's debt
Second - a new home with all the conveniences, open floor plan, craft room, man cave, multiple bathrooms, two guest rooms and fully decorated and furnished with the help of Joanna Gaines!
Then a trip to Europe - Then a trip for all my kids and grandkids to DW. - then nice cars

Well my initial thought is that I would tear down our bungalow and build a little 1.5 storey in its place. That would be lovely.
If it was a thing to buy, that would be it.
If it was about the experience, travel! Ideally first class. But rebuilding the house would still be #1 if I could only do one thing.

I would buy a Tempurpedic mattress and box spring. Then I would buy tickets for 2 for a trip around the world. I have everything I need and want. Travel is my happy place.
