The agencies I've worked for spend shite all the time on computers, office equipment, etc. so they don't lose it

You aren't wrong here. Ive been in a situation where I had a budget (government agency). I controlled the budget for the most part, unless I wanted to spend massively. Then I had to get approval.

The budget was broken down into multiple areas. I could over spend in one area, if I was under in another area. The bottom line was the most important thing.

It was absolutely a use it, or risk losing it, situation. However, in my particular case, I was pretty much working with a budget too small. So having extra to spend was never an issue. It was more an issue of NOT spending/cutting off OT to stay under.
