No offense - but if $5K is an issue for your employer, after a year of essential magic, you might have the wrong employer and they might have the wrong employee

  It seems like the latest generations of software developers (which includes myself) is hazardously opposed to spending money on software, even when it can save/make you huge amounts of time and money. I was lucky in that my first job was at a small non-software company that forked over huge amounts of cash for Oracle because it literally enabled their business to succeed (mysql and postgresql were nowhere close to being able to do it at the time). And yet I've seen fellow developers waffle over spending $60 on something they will use literally every day.
