No, you are not. I put an SSD into my desktop computer almost four
years ago, and its "Percentage Used Endurance Indicator" is currently at
12%, so it probably will be good for another twenty years or longer.

My advice would be to only use the HDD for big data files where speed is
no concern, e.g. your music/picture/video collection and such.
Everything else can go onto the SSD.
