Sorry for another reply, but I want to elaborate on my answer above.
Another way to write that would be my first sentence above, with "I would prefer it if..."
But I've discovered this is one big difference between russians and americans. Often times we are less direct. Instead of saying "I don't want you to come to the fashion show with me tomorrow", we would say something like I would rather you didn't come, or I would prefer it if you didn't come. Both of those are still kind of direct, but less direct.

If only I had enough money to buy these shoes!
I wish I would have enough money to buy these shoes!
I’d rather you didn’t come to the fashion show with me tomorrow.
The fashion show was expensive to put on, however, it did make a profit.

"I wish I would have enough money to buy these shoes!"
That'd be my pick for the incorrect sentence.
