You have one 9th level spell slot and know one spell. It can be any spell except for wish. Everything else works like normal: you cast the spell (requiring material components if the spell needs them), and regain the spell slot after you sleep. If you choose a cantrip, you can cast it infinite times like normal. You cannot learn more spells.
What spell do you know and why?

Foresight! I’d be able to pick winning stocks all day every day!
The spell only gives you the immediate future: the next several seconds. Enough time to dodge a sword, but not enough time to play stocks/lottery.

My choice would be Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion. The material components aren't that expensive or difficult to get and can be re-used. Casting this everyday gives me a nice place to live, unbeatable security (only those you permit can enter, if you close the door it cannot be opened by anything not even they tried to Nuke it, it's invisble when closed, you're in a pocket universe so you could surive the end of the world - in fact, nothing stops you making a new one while inside one, so you need not ever return to the real universe ever again if you didn't want to), plus servants I don't have to trust or be nice to since they're not real just creations of the spell and their entire existence is bound to being loyal to me and there's the copius amounts of free food.
Now, you probably might not get electric (but that is debatable, since it can create anything, so more likely you have all the electric you need, but only within the mansion) and you definitely won't have wifi - but I'd solve this by just renting a super cheap flat/apartment, with the services, and then make the mansion, leave door open while I use those services - easy enough with cheap relays/extension cords.I'll still save on water and food.

I would choose simulacrum. It costs a lot of gold in material components, but having a duplicate that can do anything for me is SO USEFUL!!!
How are you going to get approximately $150,000 worth of powdered ruby?

I don't know how I'd get it, but if I did it would be totally worth it. Being able to twice as much stuff is great.
Also, good choice. I was debating between simulacrum and magnificent mansion. In the end, I chose simulacrum because I would love to be able to do twice as much (even though it costs a lot).

Lesser Restoration. Unlike Greater Restoration, it allows me to cure diseases, which is what I'd mostly use it for. (As a psych student, I was tempted to choose Detect Thoughts, but that seems like a violation of what I do and not an extension of it.)
Huh, this isn't as easy as it may first look. My first thought would be a spell I can never get enough of in the game: Demiplane. Problem though, is that without also knowing Plane Shift, or at least Banishment, it's too risky. Knowing myself, I'd inevitably spend more than an hour inside a demiplane by accident, at which point I'd be in trouble.
Teleport is just practical. Be able to hop anywhere you've been (in the last 6 months) across the globe, once a day, instantly, and with no effort? Just travel to a few key areas to start out, spread out from there (Eurotrip!) and collect token objects of each place you visit. Then rotate every 6 months, with no long plane trips, no annoying customs/borders, and little personal risk--what's not to like? Even smug... er, ferry some harmless goods back and forth to help recoup the initial expense, and for pocket money. ("Yeah, my connections get me the authentic Italian white truffles and Swedish moose cheese!")
But Telekinesis would be soooo useful too. It wins out over Animate Objects, since it can directly grab creatures. I had considered Wall of Stone to build structures, but... you can do much of that with TK too. Not to mention achieve a limited version of Fly. Yeah, it wouldn't be something I'd use every day, but I could see doing some impressive stuff with it (and just having it in your back pocket would be handy.)
In the end, I might just have to flip a coin to decide which I'd pick.
I started in 2e when DMs were encouraged by the rules to hose players who make wishes. Wish for a mountain of gold, one falls on you. Wish for a King’s fortune, the king would come looking for it. Wish to kill a demon, a worse devil would show up. I haven’t had a character learn Wish since the ‘90s, and I would never want to cast it IRL.
I thought about Time Stop as well, but there isn't really much you can do in 30 seconds (max) that doesn't involve interacting with this. One thing it would be good for is catching objects cats knock off of tables while taunting you.
Gate. I can now travel wherever I wish without bothering with airlines or gas money, and even go to other planes.
May want to consider switching to Teleport since Gate does not work on the same plane of existence (the destination has to be a different one).

Well, that's a rotten change. Teleport's too risky if you're trying to go someplace you've never been. I'd just as soon Gate to an in-between destination and wait for Gate to recharge, then Gate again than risk a Teleport mishap.

Right, the ability to rewind time thirty seconds would be amazing, but that's not what you get here. I was thinking you could be a phenomenal professional athlete, but you would just appear to teleport which would take some explaining to the world, so the only way it could give you a secret advantage would be something like boxing where you sort of flicker and suddenly your opponent collapses from thirty seconds of unblocked strikes, which would probably make you feel like a pretty awful person pretty quickly.
I was thinking Control Weather would be a cool spell to be able to cast every day. You could travel around the world bringing hurricanes down or heralding rain in places under drought.

Unseen Servant. Think of all the ways that would be useful IRL!!
And maybe Prestidigitation. At a restaurant with bad food? Prestidigitation. Coffee went cold? Prestidigitation. Step in dog poo? Prestidigitation. Power goes out and you can’t find matches to light the candles? Prestidigitation. Want to get into a club without paying the cover charge? Prestidigitation that stamp on the back of your hand.

Teleport. Would open up unlimited possibilities for home/work combinations or just travelling in general.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
May want to consider switching to Teleport since Gate does not work on the same plane of existence (the destination has to be a different one).
