马利斯面临巨量遗物的典型代际压力：其母在两间各约 2,000 平方英尺的 SoHo 房屋内累积约 10,000 个 Pez 糖果机，并按颜色集齐多个版本。伴随物品包括 Holt Howard 果酱罐、Russel Wright 餐具、1939 年世博会纪念品、Popeye 与其他卡通摆件，以及签有 Andy Warhol 与 Truman Capote 的《Interview》杂志旧刊。收藏延伸至可追溯至 1791 年的古董束身衣，构成高密度、高价值、跨年代的物质库存，反映婴儿潮世代典型的物质累积规模。

这类庞大遗物因数量与体积构成显著负担，突显所谓“大规模财富转移”中除 90 万亿美元金融资产外的另一面向：实物遗留物的跨代转移成本。相关案例显示，不只是传承，而是如何清理、分类与处置数以千计物件成为 X 世代与千禧世代不可忽视的结构性问题。物件种类跨越日用品、古董、纪念品与签名出版物，使估值、存储与变现均面临高时间成本与专业知识门槛。

代际结果是资产与负担并存。尽管部分收藏具高市场价值，但其数量级与多样性造成管理压力，需投入远大于金融继承的物理与心理成本。该现象在婴儿潮世代高消费与高囤积特征下呈系统性趋势，显示财富转移并非单纯资本流动，而是包含实物遗留与代际空间占用的复杂结构。

Malis faces a representative generational burden: his mother accumulated about 10,000 Pez dispensers across two 2,000-square-foot SoHo lofts, collecting multiple color variants. Adjacent items included Holt Howard jars, Russel Wright dinnerware, 1939 World’s Fair memorabilia, Popeye and other cartoon figurines, as well as decades of Interview magazines signed by Andy Warhol and Truman Capote. The collection extended to antique corsets dating to 1791, forming a high-density, high-value, multi-era physical inventory emblematic of Boomer-era accumulation.

The sheer volume creates a substantial burden, highlighting that the $90 trillion “Great Wealth Transfer” includes not only financial assets but also vast physical inheritances. Across cases, the issue is not just transmission but the labor of clearing, sorting and disposing of thousands of items. Categories spanning household goods, antiques, memorabilia and signed publications introduce valuation, storage and liquidation challenges with high time costs and expertise requirements.

The generational outcome is a mix of assets and liabilities. Though some objects hold significant market value, their scale and heterogeneity impose management strain requiring far more physical and psychological effort than financial inheritance. This pattern, rooted in Boomer consumption and accumulation norms, shows that wealth transfer is not purely capital flow but a complex structure of material legacy and intergenerational spatial occupation.
