I believe, after driving and working on lots of cars, that a clutch (brakes, too) can be made to last almost as long as a vehicle if treated right and in a small vehicle. I bet some of the people on here could take a new economy car and put 150k miles on brake pads, and 250k on a clutch.
That being said, I have killed brake pads within 20k miles and I once had a girl take my clutch from being just fine to cooked in 30 miles.
Proper technique won't cost you anything - the only work is the effort to do it.
