It's not really something that you have to change all that often. I 
only replace mine every other year, so I spend a lot more time and 
money changing oil.

If you want to stop changing them altogether, you can install one of 
the electronic points replacement units or install a CDI which will 
still use the old points, but the old points then last forever.

If your points need to be replaced more often, it is likely that your 
dist cam needs to be lubricated. If the points rubbing block runs 
dry, it will quickly wear down. This may be your best and cheapest 
option.
