Personally, I think that would be terrible.
Having everything and wanting nothing. It's a little bit like most religions describe a happy afterlife. Afterlife means after death.
Daoists say that desire and want, the search for happiness is what causes pain.
Yes, it does cause pain, but it's the pain of the search that defines the joy of the acquisition.
Without the struggle, everything you get would be meaningless and superficial.
Also. Do your really want the world to be made of candy? Everything tastes nasty and boring after a while.
A world made of money? Isn't it enough of a problem now?
A stopwatch that controls time? There'd be no reason to try and do anything, because you can do whatever your selfish little wants dictate. Want to prevent your enemy from ever being born? You can do that. You also then mess everything up that came after. Ugh.
That's a disaster waiting to happen.

Use some imagination, people!
Worried about making bad wishes? I would be! That's why the first thing I'd wish for would be that no wish of mine would be granted unless it was verified in writing after a 24-hour cool-down period. Whew! Crisis averted!
Worried about not being satisfied with what you get? If you want, you can always WISH to be satisfied. Personally, I can think of so many people who are satisfied with their un-earned spoils that I can't imagine this could be a problem, really.
And just think of the GOOD things you might do. People need not go hungry or suffer. Even if you had to compromise your own happiness for that, wouldn't it be more than worth it?
Look at the big picture. There's a universe of possibilities out there!

I would wish for a job that didn't feel like a job that made me enough money to be comfortable. After all, experience has taught me that greed is the biggest killjoy. If I could just have that, I know I would be pretty happy because it would also allow me the ability to help others in the process.

I worry because sometimes I wish things in my weaker moments that I don't really want to transpire. I would constantly wishing people back alive or their arms reattached or they car horns removed from their butts etc. And no matter how many times I say "I wish we could just stay here forever" I can't think of a place that nice so..... I wish this was over

that is an old gypsy curse you know. may you have everything that you wish for. if you had everything you wished for how could you appreciate anything at all. you would live your whole life without earning anything at all. only by achieving the things you desire by hard work and perseverance can you fully appreciate how hard some things are to come by. i'm happy in my world of hope.

i don't want my wishes to come true without true efforts.
