Lol, I’ve done this exact thought experiment. Heck I practically brainstormed a version of Eternals in my head once, but instead of being Gods posing as humans, they were mortal Reincarnated Individuals who knew everyone/everything was reincarnated, but what gave them advantages in this world was that they remembered their past lives, and could use that accumulated knowledge for good and for ill.
Its a cool little concept that somebody will turn into a TV series/Movie/Video Game at some point I’m sure.
Even more nostalgia.
Obsession to continue the previous life. Get back what you had, who you had.
We’d probably have insurance companies that dealt with reincarnation. Laws and regulations around it.
Deposits to be made which only your reincarnated self could get back.
A lot of romantic drama.
(I’m already worldbuilding)
Debts carried over to your next life

Sorry, I got the title slightly wrong: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/See_You_in_My_19th_Life
I could swear I’ve seen this concept somewhere
