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.

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.
