What is the best learning material(s) for $500?

I guess that doesn't fit into the "language learning materials" requirement though. What about subscription to some of the tutor sites like edufire.com ?

I actually e-mailed my HR to see if they'd let me do things like that but I never heard back. I may still be able to get it though. Not much on the tutor sites though as I work in Japan 1/2 the year and get lots of free "tutoring" at the local Izakayas. I think I will give the office a call though and see if I can buy books and stuff. I'd previously bought a DS LL in Japan with a bunch of games before I knew I had this reimbursement.
