You are given three wishes, but after using them you will start your life over with no memories. The wishes will be granted in your new life. You will never know.
The genie is GENUINELY on your side, there will be no tricks. The only stipulations are the wishes must seem plausibly real to your new self (so no superpowers or anything physically impossible, but you could wish to be a rich ultra-attractive super genius or something).
Any negative consequences from the wishes will still happen, for example if you wish for your new family to be rich, they may end up leaving you with nothing. You could also grow to be a worse person. For any unused wishes the genie will pick for you and use his own judgement to better your life, and you WILL be starting over no matter what you do.
If you try to use any loopholes to get more wishes, seemingly impossible things, or even keep your memories, it MIGHT work depending on the method... but then the genie will switch to malicious compliance mode and try to ruin your new life, so tread carefully!
What wishes do you make?

Can I wish for a third run through?
Like I get my new life with 1-2 modifications from the other wishes, then once I reach approximately this point in that life (or at death if I die younger) I get a sudden influx of all my current memories and get to choose whether to keep going in new life, revert to this life, or try a third time?

*To be born in a body that will grown into my most ideal physical form, which would be described to the genie down to the most minute detail before making the wish
*To be born on the same birth date i originally was to a family that actually knows how to be competent and good parents
*All the missing Doctor Who episodes now exist
easy life, easy time, and im not abusing the genie powers to attain money

The simple version, because typing on phone is annoying sometimes:
Luck, opportunity, and knowledge (I mean specific subsets of knowledge I will provide to the genie right now. I'll tell exactly what I want myself to know... I wish to grant specific knowledge/understanding to my young self. Not money-related like lotto, stock, or Bitcoin... But I wish that my young self knows things about myself that it took me way too long to figure out. Long enough it's not viable to act on or pursue)

I'd wish to still give birth to my daughter at some point in my new life, then for financial independence, and the third I'd probably leave up to the genie

Perfect body in all aspects. Health, appearance, athleticism, intelligence, skills
Better luck
Although I have no memories, I keep my moral compass and personality that I have now. Basically, be a good person and not let the wishes corrupt me.

First : Having an undetectable but dominant gene that increases luck considerably.
Second : Having an undetectable but dominant gene that increases body performances (brain, health, longevity etc…)
Third : Not sure yet how to turn it but something more global to avoid earth to be inhabitable any time soon (so not global warming, nuclear war, natural disasters, asteroids etc…).

I wish for:
- Any election that I pay attention to and have an opinion on the result of will go the way I want it to, with votes in favor of my preferred outcome in at least a 3:1 ratio, once I am 22 years of age (younger me was dumb and would have voted dumb ways for the lols.)
What does this mean? I happen to glance at the governorship race of a completely different state? Who i want to win does. Same for any local, state, national level race, up to and including the leader of a nation, whether or not it's where I live and directly affects me or not, also applying to foreign nations. This also applies to policies that are voted on, ie in the US I would have no ability to affect an Executive Order, but if I read the news and saw the Senate was considering a bill to make the official bird of the country the chocobo and think "hah, that'd be funny, I hope it passes," then at least 75% +/- 1% of all voters involved at every step of the process will feel strangely compelled to vote yes and the President will feel compelled to sign off instead of vetoing it. This also includes legal cases like the Supreme Court, where a board of justices have to vote on the result of a case. School boards, fire districts, Brexit-level policies, anything requiring a vote that I'm aware of ahead of time and have an opinion on will go my preferred way.
- In the new life, I wish for my grandmother an extra brother who was reclusive and thought dead by all the family since he was in his early 20s, but wealthy by completely legal and moral means, and who kept tabs on his favorite sister (my grandmother) and her family. In late 2020 he passes away and the family learns of his existence for the first time, leaving $750 million each to all grandchildren of my grandmother, with the stipulations that the transfer of wealth must be carried out as quietly and anonymously as possible - no one outside of those receiving the money and whoever executes the will should ever know, to the limit possible by law.
I know a lot of people who got screwed by life one way or another, they'll be getting helped.
- I wish for myself, my wife(s just in case I guess although I hope to have my current wife for life), and all children, grandchildren, and their descendants to have significantly longer, significantly healthier lives than the norm, never being killed or crippled in any accident or by illness, but die in their sleep at what everyone agrees is an old age, keeping their mobility and general health until close to the end. I do specify to the genie that I still want to have my childhood overbite, because having braces was a formative experience for me and helped shape who I am, but no cavities/gum disease/etc.
Basically, with all of these, my goal is for my life to proceed about the same as it did until roughly 2020/2021, with some political changes starting to occur in the 2000s and 2010s, but otherwise generally the same trajectory. I'll still make the same mistakes, but those mistakes led me to my wife and through her to my children, and it's important to me that I try to keep them. I think the wishes I've made will best balance a happier life with an extremely high probability of that.

1) I’d like to live an extremely healthy, long life devoid of any permanent ailments or diseases.
2) I’m naturally one of the happiest, charismatic individuals on the planet.
3) I’m naturally one of the most intellectually talented individuals on the planet. I’m not just smart, I’m a savant in math, history, etc.

A philosophical question: if our existing life ends, and we have no memory of our previous life, are we not agreeing to a death sentence? Are we not just the sum of our experiences?

Copy of the original post in case of edits: The genie is GENUINELY on your side, there will be no tricks. The only stipulations are the wishes must seem plausibly real to your new self (so no superpowers or anything physically impossible, but you could wish to be a rich ultra-attractive super genius or something).
Any negative consequences from the wishes will still happen, for example if you wish for your new family to be rich, they may end up leaving you with nothing. You could also grow to be a worse person. For any unused wishes the genie will pick for you and use his own judgement to better your life, and you WILL be starting over no matter what you do.

I’d probably keep it simple: 1. Be born into a stable, loving family. 2. Have above-average health and a long life expectancy. 3. Enough financial security to never stress about basic needs.
Everything else I’d just let future-me figure out. No point in min-maxing life when I won’t even remember making the build 😂
