No, your gas mileage will suffer is all.

If it has this option from the factory, I would think that using it ALL the time, may cause some slippage in the drums BUT this would be a minimal worry. All mechanicals break down eventually...
Just put a little money aside out of the paycheck to be a buffer for major expenses, IF at all possible.
10 dollars a week will actually add up quickly, especially after you get used to putting it away.
I wouldn't worry about it. If you do not have the money to do a tranny repair, then it would be better to err on the side of caution, and use the normal mode about half time,
You may also want to read the owners manual and see what the company says about it.
