I used to have some betas that lasted almost 7 years & they had just been passed around a whole bunch. Started off in a college dorm room, passed on to another girl in the dorm who happened to be my next door neighbor, who eventually passed them on to my sister & then my parents.
You could care for a beta & then pass it on! But I tend to agree that if you're just looking for a pet with a short life span maybe you are not fully ready to care for a pet yet.
