How does this logic work when the next generation/incoming demographic is even bigger? Boomers aren't an isolated bloc of people followed by 20-year-olds. It's a continuous expanding number of X year olds every year.
For specific USA numbers:
There are 18.7 million 65-69 year olds.
There are 21.1 million 60-64 year olds.
There are 22.3 million 55-59 year olds.
Etc... You can't have one demographic retire/die off and everything is cheap again -- because there is always another demographic moving right into their place all the time.

You are right, but I think in the 10 years lots of the 55-59 people die off so wont be larger. Then the pyramid shrinks.
