If you do a search on something like "mileage recommendations" or "chain replacement interval" or "cassette replacement", you'll find plenty of threads.
The short answer is that mileage is a very poor indicator of when to replace stuff.
Depending on riding style, ride conditions and maintenance intervals the results will vary considerably.
There's a fairly well accepted recommendation on chain replacement based on elongation which I can't be bothered to track down right now.Assuming you replace the chain before it's gotten too long, expect to be able to run 2-3 chains(at least) on every cassette, and something like 2-3(at least) cassettes on each set of chainrings. Some may "never" need to replace their chainrings.

Perfect advice, dabac!
There is no 'one answer fits all' and the replacement range, in miles or kilometers, is wide and affected by several variables.
