I constantly have to return to the music store with the same problem: My strings keep rusting within a day of playing.

I used Ernie Ball and the first four strings rusted on me, then I tried d'Addarios, having the first 3 rust. I tried Elixir too, but I should have known that the wound strings were the only ones coated (which is a stupendous amount of bs.) They were all nickel wound with plain steel, 10-46 gauge. The strange part is when I used the Fender strings it came with, they didn't rust period, and they were made out the same stuff, except for the fact that they were nickel plated, and 9-42 gauge.

This is very fustrating and I can't keep spending my money. I'd greatly apreciate help.
