    The house itself is going on 80 (or might have passed it already; I have conflicting information on when it was built).

    Half of my furniture is antique, with one large built-in cabinet having been salvaged from a house even older than mine.

    I have no idea how old my gas range is, but I got it out of my in-laws’ house a decade and a half ago and they’d had it for years before that.

    My silverware is a hand-me-down from my mom, and is probably older than I am.

    My newest car (out of too many) is a 2007 model, I think, which means it might’ve been built in 2006. Most of the others are from the '90s.

    My previous daily-driver bike (which remains my backup after getting a cargo e-bike) is from circa 1991. Of my family’s dozen+ bikes, there are only three that I know for a fact are less than 20 years old.

    A surprising amount of stuff I have was found on the curb after other people threw it out, and is of indeterminate age.

      You can determine the exact day of final assembly of your car using the VIN. You’re correct that it would have been made in 2006
