> He says he has friends of all ages, although he admits he shares more in common with people much older than him.

The only thing I'd worry about is him getting too obsessed to the point he has trouble relating with others that are from this generation or are younger than himself especially as the number of people familiar with that generation continue to pass away.

I like him in the same way that I like Daria. Cynical enough of modern living that he rejects it as much as he can, with the wealth that he has... but I just hope it doesn't turn him into a snob who turns his nose up at anything mainstream, alienating him from his friends and peers for the sake of his principles. Daria needlessly suffered for her elitism. He seems far more approachable though, I will give him that.

On the other hand if he goes into history or restoring vintage things then he could make name for himself by helping others to be able to appreciate vintage things.
