Well, “world peace” may not be original, but it isn’t bad.

Unless it's one of those monkey's-paw wishes, in which case everyone immediately dies.

That I had a wallet with exact change every time I opened it. Dinner? My treat, you tip. You need groceries? Give me the list. The lady in front of me at the dentist that can't get more care till her bill is paid? Is cash OK?
And when a certain billionaire realizes he's lost way too much money and wants to offload this website he purchased for way too much you could just write a check.
Or you can like pay off all the student loan debt because you just happen to have 1.3 trillion dollars in your wallet.
Or just travel around and pay off school lunch debts, overdue book fees at local libraries, and get a round for everyone at every ice cream truck I see.

Being born a girl.
However you see yourself, it's welcome in our eyes.

As long as I'm happy in the moment, I wish for "more of this" because I'm usually having a good time and with people I love.
Yeah, appreciating the moment is the best wish ever.

I wish for my bestie's good physical and mental health. Preferably, she'll attain both at once in a way where she feels she earned it for herself.
Magic. And not ledgerdemain or magic that looks like things just kind of happened that sort of way, I'm talking magic missile, fireball, flying through the air blowing shit up, summoning familiars, castles in the sky, all that shit.
Blowjobs
Yeah dude. Chicks dig guys with a back pocket wish.
I love yours, and have one almost identical to it. But it's probably not one I would share with say, coworkers or casual friends. I have a "public and plausible" wish in addition to the fantastic and semi-private one. My public and plausible wish is usually that our lotto pool at work finally hits all the numbers. Considering the odds of that happening, it's damned unlikely, but at least it's theoretically possible. So maybe I should call it my "public and barely plausible wish".
I've always wished for Scarlett Johanssen, naked, to appear at the front door. It's yet to happen.
One of my buddies thinks she's plain / unattractive. Love the guy, but he's a complete idiot in this regard.
No I'm isn't
You didn't specify when. She will show up when she is elderly and in poor health. She'll knock on your door, then pass away.

It's always been to fly. Every time I blow out birthday candles, every time I fix my necklace chain, every time I blow away a fallen eyelash, every time I've thrown a penny in a fountain (oh how I miss the mall fountain!).
It never fucking works >:(
It's because you told us just now. It would've worked but now it can't!

What would be your "back pocket wish"?
That nobody is guilt tripped into making wishes on their birthday to satisfy social norms.
Check mate atheists.

I used to always wish that things would work out for the best.
I guess it was too vague because that's not how things have been going.
They just haven't finished working out yet.
In 10,000 years things are going to be so great, the best, once they work out, they're working so hard, all the time they're working. And now, they're working harder than ever, everyone says so. Believe it, when things work out it'll be huge, they'll all talk about it.

Since I was a kid, I settled on "$100 million." Simple. Enough to get you through life, but not being too greedy. Yet it's still never come true, so I'm beginning to think wishing on stars, candles, wells, etc... might sadly be bullshit.
I remember when I was around 12 or 13 I'd always say my wish would be to get 1 billion dollars per second, for the rest of my life, and that no one, including the government, would ever be suspicious of it
You sound like you played too much D&D.
Health, happiness, and security for my kids.
You shouldn't feel pressured into making a wish.
I wish it was that simple.
Just to know that I'll be ok, I have a lot of chronic anxieties about the long picture future
On a personal level, a small house for my kids to live in before I die somewhere quiet. On a global level? Less privileged people would stop being taken advantage of by nefarious sources and systems designed to crush them.
Invulnerability. To age, sickness, death, anything that could physically harm me. I want to live forever.
Or barring that, telekinesis.
I just picture you floating in an endless void 100 billion years after entropy has moved every single subatomic particle away from each other. Somehow you have been sustained. The last sophisticated entity in the universe. Your billions of years of loneliness have already driven you to the point of insanity, enlightenment, insanity again, and finally a state of which no one could imagine. Because you don't consume food or water, you're in a perpetual state of hunger and thirst. You don't feel harmed, but you do feel peckish all the time. You could do with a draught. Your wish didn't allow for pain "thank God", you think.

And there was light --
That's exactly what I thought of while reading that answer.
