The first wish that pops into you mind is an obvious one. And you don't see how it could go wrong. It's the first wish anyone would make and frankly, in the world of today, it is not surprising at all.
"Oh, I wish for an eternal source of wealth," you say.
"Common wish," yawns the genie. "But easy to grant."
"Yes, I know it's common," you retort to the genie. "But you know, not everyone has great powers like yours. Us humans have to struggle with what we have so believe me, this sort of wish solves problems you barely are aware of."
"Fine, fine," says the genie. "Have at it them."
He snaps his fingers with annoyed roll of his eyes and you let the magic flow through you. You don't see how this wish could go wrong. Who wouldn't wish to be indefinitely wealthy? Your life will be so better from now on! And even better, you have two more wishes to go! Your life is going to be great from now on. It is only when the flow of magic ceases and that you see your new reality that you understand the genie was planning to humiliate you all along.
