What's going to be the final way that boomers pull up the ladder behind them?

Yes, I agree. The ultra rich won't be affected as their assets price will rise. The boomers who have reverse mortgages their house have cash, or a perpetuity. The asset will rise. Their money will not.
The poor will certainly be worse off, as they always are. The young will be worse off. However, their wages will rise to catch up. Maybe not enough, but a rose nonetheless. The boomers depending on the reverse mortgage income or the cash pile from the agreement will just have devaluation.
Boomers will be more worse off in dollar terms and percent of wealth lost. At least, that's my guess.

Eh, here in Sweden it is normal to reuse grave sites, you normally get a grave site for 25 years, but it can be extended.
The relatives of the person buried can extend the time that the gravesite is yours, but it costs money.
Sooner or later the gravesite is returned to the church to be reused.
That's the way it is in a lot of European countries. Every single acre of land would be a gravesite if not for this system.

They're more likely to kick the ladder out from under themselves, if gen Z doesn't been them to it.

Is everything broken down in 25 years or do they do something with the remains?
Have you heard about Paris catacombs?

Exactly this. I've seen it with two of my family members.

The Me generation has already pulled the ladder so high, that most of Gen X never made it onto even the bottom rung.
Their parents named them The Me Generation. They tried to stick that label on Gen X, not realizing that they didn't have enough of us for us to ever be relevant.
The Greediest Generation will be taught about, as the people who were so shortsighted they sold out themselves and their next 5 generations of offspring.

They're GONNA die. They don't get life extension tech. For one thing, they're already too old for it to do much for them.

My dad gets a kick out of hearing how bad the environment is. He literally wants the world to die with him. I think most boomers feel that way. I think they truly would love the word to be nucked. They don't give two shits about any other generation. Thats why they don't care about climate change. They truly so selfish that the world should die with them and we all suffer.
He's why The Greatest Generation, and The Forgotten Generation called them The Me Generation, not Boomers. The Me Generation then tried to stick Gen X with that moniker, not realizing that they were too selfish to have enough children for Gen X to ever be relevant.

My boomer relatives floated the idea of donating their estates to the mormon church upon their deaths, fucking their apostate kids out of any inheritance
You oughta see their gilded temples. They’re really hurting for money.

Climate change, although the younger generations aren't doing much to help with that either.

There is also the faintest possible possibility that some sort of home health care robot will become available in the next 20 years or so, but it'll probably be very expensive.
20 years?
You know boomers are already 70+ right? In 20 years they’ll all mostly be dead anyway and their wealth sucked up by medical debt and end of life care services.

so.. you envision one last boomer dying out and suddenly the sun rises? like who do you think is behind the mass fucking of the public? no one born after 1970?

Well then maybe Gen X will get them.
