Sorry but this is not something you can just avoid doing. Your air conditioner/furnace will literally break if you're not staying on top of filter replacements. New filter every 3 months is the longest you can get away with not replacing it before dust buildup starts damaging your system.
Please take care of this ASAP.
How did you learn about this, a bad experience?
Honestly, I'm surprised that this isn't common sense. Think about it: filter gets clogged, fan struggles to move air due to clogged filter, fan eventually overheats and dies from too much stress. Doesn't take a bad experience to figure out the blatantly obvious.
