Very little. I've obtained most of my material desires and what ever I still want I could techically afford but can't justify it - like a quad bike.
I didn't ask for much to begin with and I'm satisfied with what I got. Not wanting a thing is as good as having it.
A piece of land to have a garden. If it's big enough, I could even live there
I keep a whole list and get one item after another, when money allows and priority demands it. Currently looking for new shoes and a specific Laptop
I want a pair of Asics 727s but for whatever reason this particular pair of shoes is annoying and expensive to get outside of Japan.
I intended to buy a server for my game dev stuff like my locally hosted ForgeJo, file server, etc. I currently have a scrappy little box made from spare parts.
But they're so expensive now and I don't want to blow my entire budget on a new one when the current one "works".
This summer I setup a homeserver for immich / jellyfin / arr with this this Bad boy. I found it close to 300 euros, however this is barebone, and with the cost of ram this hikes the cost quite a bit. ( Hard drives were scrapped from old pc and laptops)
Oh hundreds of things.
A car. I live a few kms away from the nearest town and drive a borrowed one (with a horrendous gas mileage...)
New front porch, ours is rapidly deteriorating.
Most of the most frustrating things I want are home renovations. I wish we could do them & get more years with them, but it's way out of reach at the moment.
I've wanted to visit Italy for about 20 years now. Maybe some day. There's always some other need for the money and time.
One of Fuji's medium format cameras.
I'd also need to upgrade my storage if I got one. Just way too expensive.
There's a chinese version thats half the price and produces 50% more power by revving to 16K and costs like half as much, but for some reason nobody imports them. If I buy the Honda I just know the chinese bike will show up.
Damn, I know nothing about these but they are fine looking !
The chinese one's engine is basically a copy of a zx4r, the 400cc version of the bike below, with imported parts any place that in-house manufacturing wasn't on par or superior, and most parts being interchangeable.
But I don't want a fully-fared bike, the plastics are gonna get scuffed so fast if I'm riding it on streets, sidewalks, gravel, etc every day.
I was supposed to take my first real vacation with my wife. We had a honeymoon, but it was mostly going to the US for her to meet my family in person. I am almost certainly losing my job, so even a hot bath (many in Japan take one every night) and heat/AC have become a luxury now. The problem is, I need the vacation because my mental state is bad, but I can't take it because I need to save all of the money I can to hopefully not lose the house. If I lose the house, I die.
A fighter jet would be really cool for bringing to the daycare
I'd kind of like to get a pen plotter that can use fountain pens.
The problem is that I don't really want to spend a lot of time callibrating and tinkering with it or deal with devices that phone home. Bantam Tools makes some, but they're substantially more expensive than similar devices.
And I'd kind of like to have one with a pressure sensor that can automatically callibrate draw height for a given run. And an automated tool switcher with some kind of standard attachment to stick on various pens. Not really commercial, off-the-shelf stuff for that. People engineering their own DIY stuff with 3D-printed parts, yes.
And I don't really know whether I'd use it much or if it'd just wind up gathering dust. In all honesty, I have three existing alternative options, all of which are cheaper:
Write software to generate plot, get digital output. Doesn't have the neat look physical pens produce.
Same, but print output. Same drawback.
Generate image, print, manually trace with fountain pen using light tablet. Have done this, but it's tedious and time-consuming, and my human hands induce imperfections.
I certainly do not need one. But dammit, I'd like to play around with one.
EDIT: Oh, and one with an automated paper feeder would be cool too, but that immediately sharply limits options and increases price.
Home assistant setup.
We have a few Alexa and a ring camera, neither of which I trust but dont have the money or wherewithall to replace with something closed
