If we're imagining a world with immortality why not imagine one with space colonies, or some other form of growth? The new people could get the new stuff, same as it's been since the end of feudalism.

I mean, if we're fantasizing we might as well have a post-scarcity society along the lines of Manna: http://marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm
It's already at the point today where real estate and other relatively scarce resources are much more available to and owned by the wealthy who then use this to extract rent from the younger generations. Give those people another 80 years or so to do play the game and we will all end up in hock to them. You'll be born in debt to someone who was born a century or more before you.
