A magic genie granted you one of three wishes, which would you pick?

1) To be the perfect weight and body shape and no matter what never have to worry about your weight again.

2) To be completely debt free including your mortgage.

3) To have perfect hair every day, no extra work, wake up, wash it, and it always looks just right.

I would pick #1. I have always struggled with my weight and I want to be healthy AND look good.

I have never had any debt other than a mortgage and I consider that to be good debt.

I don't give a flying fig about perfect hair. I am perfectly happy with ok hair most days and good hair a few days.

that's a tough one I would like to have all three, but I think #2 would probably make me most happy

Def # 2. If I was completely debt free, I would have little to no stress which means my stress induced weight would go away, and I could stop pulling my hair out and have beautiful hair again. Yep, I think wishing for #2 also gets you 1 and 3. LOL

I would have to say Number 1. I would love to eat all the food I know I can only have a little bit of. I love all different kinds of food. We have limited debt (mortgage and car payments). I really do not care about my hair.

I would SO pick number 1. That would be awesome! I can't even image not having to always be watching what I eat. I don't even mind killing myself at the gym but to eat whatever I want, whenever I want would be incredible. The worst part is that I'm only 10 pounds from where I want to be but that 10 pounds sucks!

We don't have debt beyond our mortgage and I have great hair so it was an easy choice!

Gosh! #2 for sure!! Think about it! No mortgage! We could take a family trip to a different country every year! We would be making memories as a family instead of working so hard to keep us afloat! Time goes by so quickly and your family is only young once! Those times are priceless...making memories is what counts!

I'd pick #2. I'm pretty satisfied with my weight/hair (or maybe it's just not that important to me), so the no mortgage thing sounds like the best option! Would I be able to upgrade my house first, too?!

Definoitely #2. If I had that everything would fall into place. I could get someone to make my hair look perfect everyday and less stress would positively affect my weight.
