There is an event horizon for experiences, at least in my brain. I'm a photo hoarder, and the photos are well organized too. I also hoard old emails and anything else that captures my life's experiences. Something that happened 5 years ago is "recent". Something that happened 10 years ago is getting iffy. 20 years ago is so disconnected from the present that only skeletal memories remain, and even old pictures and writeups don't have the same impact. It is possible to buy things that still give joy after 20 years. They don't have to be fancy. I have a particular Makita handheld electric drill (not the cordless variety!) that was the most pleasant to use electric drill I ever experienced after buying one 25+ years ago. Two others I showed it to immediately got their own. And that thing still works, and still gives me joy.
