You must not ride it much. Chains and gears are wear items on bicycles. They should be cleaned and lubricated regularly.

The gears and chain generally wear at the same rate. If you put a new chain on a worn out old set of gears they will likely slip.

The chain wears out muuccchhh faster than gears when properly maintained. If you let your chain stretch too much, then you'll wear out gears quickly. This isn't them wearing out at the same rate, it's a worn out chain ruining your cassette and chainrings.
