Why do charging cables stop working so quickly?

About 2 months ago, the charger for my Galaxy s3 decided to stop working, so I bought a new one off of Amazon. It worked well for a while, but a couple weeks ago, it decided to stop charging unless I just leave my phone alone, which I don't do. Tried another cable and it didn't take long for it to start messing up. WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING IN SO LITTLE TIME?? Very frustrating.

    You obviously don't take care of the cables. I have a micro USB cable from about 2008 that works fine.
