> Budget. Getting some for your team or at least for your priorities. Protecting what you get. Capex vs Opex.

Always spend your budget, ideally about 5-10% over (find out what others do)

If you don't, next year you get less. You can't save 20k this year and spend it next year. You can't even save 20k and get rewarded for being cost efficient as you'll be punished with a lower budget next year.

Yes it's stupid.
