How often do you hit the rev limiter?

I believe my engine loves to go past 6000, her and I had a heart to heart last night

I mainly hit it because:

-higher RPMs make me go faster, there is lots of power at 6400
-I normally build up the rpms slowly to 3-4000 and then nail it, and the rev limiter isnt far from the 'normal' cruising rpm of 3-4k (other cars slow my 0mph start sometimes)
-I'm accelerating in a long straight line from 0 mph
-if I didn't hit it, I would be "granny shifting, not double clutching like I should"

I think most people would say they hit 6000 at least sometimes, and how different is 6000 from 6500 in terms of extra stress/wear? Plus, isn't OVERrevving going past 6500?? I don't venture into that territory, only because my ECU wont let me

To lazy to read all the posts so sorry if this was already said. Are we talking red line or rev limiter? Hitting the rev limiter on a daily basis is pretty much saying you don't know how to drive your car. If we are talking taking it to red line then I take it there every time it is out. But I can probably count on one hand how many times I have bounced the rev limiter.

Edit: OP rev limiter isn't red line.
