I think everyone would like to win the lottery. If you did, would it make you happy? If everyone did win the lottery, the dispersement would be so infinitesimally small, everyone would not be happy; in fact they might be angry - check out the movie Bruce Almighty, this actually happens.
Your teenagers would love to play and hangout with their friends all the time and not have to worry about school or chores. As parents, if we allowed that, we would be letting them down because we would not be preparing them to be productive members of society and they would have no idea how to take care of themselves.
It is good to have what you need; there are numerous places around the world where people don't.
It is nice to get things you want. (See previous comment.)
Just because you want something does not mean you have to have it or that you need it.
Be grateful for what you have.
Make someone's day and perform a random act of kindness. Try giving them something they need.

You Can't Always Get What You Want Lyrics
» Rolling Stones
[chorus]
I saw her today at a reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man
No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
And if you try sometime you find
You get what you need
I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she was gonna meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you might find
You get what you need
Oh yeah, hey hey hey, oh...
And I went down to the demonstration
To get my fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"
Sing it to me now...
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need
Oh baby, yeah, yeah!
I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him
You can't always get what you want, no!
You can't always get what you want (tell ya baby)
You can't always get what you want (no)
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need
Oh yes! Woo!
You get what you need--yeah, oh baby!
Oh yeah!
I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need
You can't always get what you want (no, no baby)
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need, ah yes...
