Maintain your chain! I chewed through a nice cassette on my mtb quickly by not watching my chain and replacing it when worn. A worn chain will dramatically increase cassette wear. I only replaced it yearly and should have probably done twice per year. Since then, I switched to hot waxing my chains and have now gone a year with the same chain reading as almost new. (Actually use 2 chains but both are barely worn) There’s a great site called zero friction cycling that details all of this. The key that they opened my eyes to was looking at the total cost of riding including the cassette.
