TL;DR: Replace your expensive Microsoft 365 subscription with a Microsoft Office lifetime license for $29.97.
Would you rent your TV? How about the wheels on your car? Paying for something you'll never be able to own is kind of ridiculous, so why do software subscriptions keep getting away with it? If you don't want to rent your own productivity, then it's time to replace your Microsoft 365 subscription with a lifetime license to Microsoft Office Pro. It's only $29.97 (reg. $229), but it won't stay that way.
Microsoft 365 only seems cheap if you don't pay attention to what they're really charging you. Instead of owning the apps you rely on, you're paying $99.99 every year just for the apps you use for work or school. The smarter option is to return to a lifetime license like this one. It may cost a little more up-front, but check out what you can get.

If you're used to Microsoft 365, these apps might look a little different, but sometimes old things work better because they work simpler. Microsoft Office 2019 isn't bloated with AI integrations. It's simple, clean, and just works.
