I've had 3 $80-$100 bikes from walmart, and none of them lasted more than a year. They usually wore out and fell apart just before hitting the one year mark. It doesn't even have enough time to start rusting.
I use my bike just about every day for pleasure or just to get from place to place. Nothing too fancy. Course, I do ride it in any sort of weather, be it snow, rain or hail. Maybe that has something to do with it...
