I just want my home paid off, that is all I would ask for.

I echo the thoughts of a previous respondent. If you have an infinite amount of money to hand out, I could take what I wanted, because it wouldn't impact anyone else not getting the amount they also would ask for. "Infinite" means unending, forever, so "everybody" could always have money, whether a selfish amount or for their basic needs. Personally, I'd be happy with about $3 million -- that would take care of me and my family for the rest of our lives.

I would take nothing i guess. If i'm truly honest with myself i can tell you now that regardless of my circumstances everything i see as needs are only wants that i can live without. I live in awealthy supportive Western country so i'm lucky.
To achieve my dreams i would ask for a million and i assure you it would help a very many people in the world.

If its infinite then i would ask for everything i would ever want since it wouldn't impact anyone else getting whatever they want too.
Assuming economics wasn't an issue as others have mentioned.

If you an infinite amount of money, wouldn't that devalue existing money to nothing immediately?

well if you hand out an infinite about of money you will only cause massive inflation and the money would become worthless.

Everything in human life is "selfish".
