How can I make my guitar strings last longer?

Making Your Strings Live Longer

Do your strings wear out prematurely? It may be because you have sweaty hands. If you want your strings to last longer, I've noticed that washing and drying my hands thoroughly before playing really lengthens the life of my strings.

Also wipe them right when you finish playing, this will make them last longer.
