tbf, it may not be hard to calculate, but it is hard to admit I'm almost halfway my thirties...
Also born in 89, I can say I was still born in the Soviet Union.

I was just telling a friend that being born on a decade makes it easy for me to keep track, whereas I've heard my brother ask his wife to confirm his age.
I mean if youre within a couple years of it you would be like current year +5 or whatever
Try 77 sometime. The only reason I knew my mom's age is she was born in 57. Occasionally I'd even have to work the other way to figure out how old I was!
My kids were exactly 18 months apart, same day, one in 1999 and one in 2001. Math made (mostly) easy, baby.
