Alright, so, I got some Christmas money. What is the best thing I could buy to improve my art for 100 dollars or less? Could be anything, better materials, programs, books, videos, reference image packs, a sloppy hand job from an uninterested Asian massage parlor worker, anything.

Couple reams of paper, pencils, maybe charcoal, blending stumps, kneaded erasers, pens, maybe some cheap sketchbooks. Then read the books from the sticky. That's all you really need. Probably don't even need to spend more than 20 bucks to git gud, the biggest investment is time.

How do I buy more time?

OP pay me those $100 dollars and I'll let you in on the greatest tip there is on fast art gains ;^)

For only a hundred bucks? What a steal!
Buy more free time to draw by quitting your job

3 11"x14" sketchbooks, a medium sized make-up mirror with a regular mirror on at least one side, and as many pencils as you can buy afterwards. then draw your hands from the mirror until you die.
A rope to hang yourself would be the best to be honest.

What's the best kind of rope I can get for 100$?

What kind of art do you even do and what materials do you currently have? I think a sensible answer is more of the materials you actually use or something to make your workspace more comfortable like an adjustable lamp or a good chair.
Alternatively, if you don't have anything, you could buy a pack of 2B pencils, cheap printer paper, and a craft knife+sandpaper paddle for $20 or so and spend the rest on drugs.

I work traditionally and digitally. I have plenty of pencils of varying hardness, a fresh pack of printer paper, sketchbooks, etc. I do like your lamp or chair idea.
