I keep from late 90's a database of all stuff I own, bought and sold. Things from electronics (with full serial number and date of purchase, sell) to Pens and pencils.

I have no idea why I still keep doing this, but it's handy for insurance.

My father has an inventory of everything with serials since the 1990s. He never sells anything so it’s all in the basement.

My father-in-law takes the cake and has a 1,000 or more spreadsheets. He has chickens and keeps a spreadsheet on the costs per egg since he purchased the chicks. I think it’s down below 25¢ an egg.

I've been meaning to set something like this up, how is your database structured, what do you use?

Expense tracking? Expense prediction? Could be useful for many things.
