Dear Genie: My three wishes are---

-that my two youngest nieces will be accepted into good colleges and get the best possible financial aid packages;
-that my nephew-in-law would find a job doing the type of work he has studied and earned credentials to do;
-and financial security for my parents (not financial excess or a sudden windfall, because that is not what they want, but that I would not have to worry about their future needs being met).
