They can last a fair old time after they start making the noise. The problem is though that it will go and it will fail catastrophically in that you will have no clutch at all. Can be a problem far from home.
My experience is that they get pretty damned noisy before they fail completely though.
Don't ride the clutch, don't rest your foot on the pedal, don't hold it in gear when not moving, no racing, wheel-spinny starts, all that stuff.
If it's only got 6 months left in it, I'd just drive it 'till it breaks, which may well be more than 6 months.
