I disagree with Mark a bit on this, and Lennie Harvey touched on it.
While it is important to have nice fresh strings when playing in
public, I think you want to have good-sounding strings on when you
practice as well. Especially when you are just starting out. The
sound of dead strings can be frustrating and you really want the sound
of your instrument to inspire you to play. At the beginning, you need
as little frustration as possible. Mark and Lennie and I are old
geezers and have been playing for a good while, and can probably stand
old strings while we practice, but for someone new, I'd recommend
keeping fresh strings on.
So, to answer your question, probably about 5 months ago. ;-)
When you change 'em you'll think you've gotten a new guitar!
HTH,

Try different strings til you find what you like.
