Give yourself a slap.
Water pipes, idler and pump? These things wear out on any and all cars.
You could buy another car and have the pump or pulley die on it, its nothing to be depressed about. Be glad these are the only problems!
Also, the bearings in a waterpump (and alt for that matter) can wear out prematurely if the belts are done up too tight.
