There are always some people who likes to talk about everything but when it comes to doing good things outta them, they aren't interested.
I've an uncle from village who keeps asking me about property prices in my locality. It's been like forever now when he shows up and shares about the deal he's so sure about. He asks my opinion and then in a while says that he's not interested in the property deal anymore for a certain reson that is just unique to him for denying.
In reality that uncle (I respect him a lot and that's our tradition here) of mine has always been the same
- procrastinating for everything. He's just interested to talk about plans and plans and plans. I call him planner mama (mother's brother).
I know people like that too. I have heard of investors described as suffering from analysis paralysis.
This guy isn't like that.

I'm not entirely sure what his kind is but your recent comment about him tells the same thing.
I don't know if my uncle is really suffering from analysis paralysis but he's good at delaying everything even for smaller things. For example you'll find him sipping from his tea cup after everyone's finished theirs. He just delays everything and he has reason. If you say that your tea is now cold, he'll say he likes cold tea. He's kinda smartest and laziest person.

Some of the smartest people I know are also the least successful financially.

You're right.
We've a proverb in our vernacular that goes like Att ko stano kauwa goo me hi mau marat hai.
This translates The smartest (oversmart) crow always eat the shit.
This literally means what you said. I know many such people and I meet them on a regular basis. They are proud of their tiny achievements and talks about their experiences like only they have had them.
Such people can never accept the suggestions. If your friend is one among them, I'm sure he wouldn't pay heed to yours either.

I love that expression! I will start using the english translation. This friend isn't really like that though. I have other friends who are

Glad your friend isn't a crow.
Then I think he's just a satisfied guy who doesn't have many expectations in his life especially at this age of his life and without kids.
I anso think we should accept the fact some people will never turn to astute materialism.
