The strings also get grimy, you can see that best on the unwound strings -- they start getting black, this deadens the sound. I change my main guitar's strings about once a month or more if I'm playing it a lot. They have strings now (elixer and others) that have a special coating that is supposed to increase string life and increase playability. I have tried these and don't like the sound or feel. So I slap on new strings often.

Having 15 guitars i find that i don't change my strings that often. Usually if you play your instrument a lot I would say to change them every few weeks. As for breaking strings i haven't broken any since i first started playing. This was mainly due to incorrect tuning(making the strings too sharp). If you want that crisp clean sound all the time and don't mind changing your strings I would buy a lot of cheap strings and just change them often.

put the string through hole and use the turning peck to balance the sound

you don't really know when they will break, but as a rule, when they start sounding flat....change em...
