Stop abusing your bike
If you're riding through winter, the grit and salt knackers the components. Equally riding with a worn chain wears out the cassette and chainrings.
Clean your chain more often (degrease, nailbrush to get out the grit / dirt, biby wipes to remove excess, dry and lube) and stick a new chain on when it begins to stretch - you should be able to use two chains per cassette.
