> when the 'extra' funds run out, and benefits will only be covered in cashflows

The issue is that the necessary delivered services is a kinda fixed amount that the economy should deliver. The economy can't really "save" money. A government can choose to change taxes, change benefits, sell assets (to who?), or burden the next generation with debts (e.g. via mortgages).

Talking about money between generations is often just fictional accounting.
