Wasted $150 on a water filter that clogged in 3 weeks

Bought one of those fancy countertop gravity filters from a Kickstarter campaign and the ceramic element gummed up with sediment from my well water before I even got halfway through the first batch, has anyone found a pre-filter setup that actually handles hard water without breaking the bank?

Right on, that's the exact problem with ceramic filters and well water. Try an in-line sediment filter before it, like a basic spin-down or a cheap whole-house filter housing with a 5-micron spun polypropylene cartridge, that should catch the grit before it hits the expensive ceramic element.

Nah, you're just using it wrong. RTFM.
