If you believe that the tools, equipment, and people you need next year will be cheaper, then saving money makes sense. But as things are consistently getting more expensive with inflation, it has almost always made sense to keep employees well paid and lots of equipment ready in order to turn money (always losing value) into other assets like people, tools, and land (typically gaining value) while also reducing taxes paid.

It's more of a matter of if the thing is really needed or just a 'nice to have' while budget dollars are still available.
