When to change clutch

I have a 2014 Fiesta SE, 5sp manual. I bought it new and it now has 214k miles and I have noticed that when accelerating in 4th or 5th gear it's seems like I'm revving
the engine even tho the clutch is not engaged. In lower gears there doesn't seem to be a problem unless I have a few heavy passengers. Will I do any harm to anything if I continue to baby the car until the clutch just totally wears out?

Sounds like it's time to change it. You could probably get away with going easy on it for a little while, but eventually you're not going to have a working clutch. The sooner you change it the better, unless you like having your car towed from the side of the road.
