You could write your own user model. But if you don't want to do that,
make a profile and put the year on that. Or use model inheritance. Or
make a foreign key on another model to the User object (as Dennis noted)
and then use reverse lookups.

Personally I would recommend making a profile, you'll likely be adding
more to it.
