You mean if the chain never breaks it should be changed?

You can go the route and measure how much if any the chain has stretched (caused by the pins wearing out) or as LowCel (by the way, is that your screen name because you smoked to much in your early years? ) and always change it at a specific time (will save money in the long run). You could also just keep a "piggy bank" that you put cash in from time to time and save up for new rings, cassette and chain all at once and then replace them all when they go to $hit.
