Default Date calculations

In my spreadsheet I have a column of the date in which we purchased
particular items. In another column, I would like to have a formula that
tells me as of today, how old that item is. For example, let's say I
purchased something 5/24/01, that date is listed in column A. I would like
my formula to be something like =Today() - A1. This would then tell me it
equals 5 years or 5.4 if it was 5 years and so many months, etc. My formula
does not give me the answer I am expecting, it gives me a date. How should I
be entering this formula to get the results I need?

Thanks in advance.
