I like to write in my books, so refunds aren't in the picture.

Can you do a language course? That always sounded fun to me and a good use of someone else's money.

It's only embezzlement if you get caught. Until then it's a good idea

10% towards Tech Sales U. 100 down on the refundable deposit. Finish the program, and pocket the $100 for yourself upon refund. Get paid to learn. Allocate the other 90% to books, webinars, or sales training workshops.

i would suggest master class, and audible for sure. buy a few books and return them haha.

I would be careful with actual sales courses though. unless its super specific to what you want to learn it could be a waste of time.

If you interested in learning language as @Sunbunny31, go for it. I subscribe to Masterclass and I like listening to all those influencers, not sure if thatโ€™s of interest. Honestly, I also end up not using the budget at all ๐Ÿ˜…
