A friend of mine just called me up with an odd question. He asked me if there is something I've always wanted to do but haven't been able to do so yet.
I told him I wanted to win a million dollars. He said, "Uh ok, now is there something else you wanted to do that's a lot more obtainable than that?" 
I chuckled and said, "Well, realistically, I wouldn't mind taking a vacation to this particular place. What about you?"
"I want to be able to retire comfortably some day." he says.
I said that I understood and agree with it, but then I asked, "So what brought this up? Want to tell me what this is about?"
"Nope!" he says.
Wow.
You have to understand, this is a guy who we've always been open to each other about everything, and the simple fact that he would not tell me what this is about really surprised me! I don't know what to make of this.
I will say that, in the end, we both want the same thing out of life. Come to think of it, I think we all basically want similar things out of life, eh? The only difference, really, is whether we have the resources to make it happen. Be it a vacation or a comfortable retirement, it all takes money....
But that's not saying anything new to you guys. What's got me really wondering is why this friend of mine is suddenly being so dodgy? Anybody have any ideas?

BUT, since he mentioned retirement, seems he expects to be around a while?
Think he came into some money and is trying to figure out what to do with it?

Assuming it really is a windfall. I don't know, but hopefully, it's something nice like that and nothing bad.
