A peace lily is a great plant the more you spend the bigger the plant will be. Your price range of around 100$ is a great size at least a 12 inch pot. This plant will let you know when it needs water. The long leaves will start to wilt and with water they will perk right back up.
I would go to a florist's shop/website and see what they have available. If you go into a store, the staff there will be able to assess your needs (light, maintenance needs, etc.) and suggest an appropriate plant.
Peace lilys are nice because they do well in low light, but they are finicky about watering.
Another good option might be a bromelaid (the one with the purplish sort of "flower" in the middle and long spiky leaves) since it's easy to water and maintain and provides a little color.
There are plants available in all different sizes that will match your spending category.
a ficus tree would be nice. they can last a long time with proper care.
Bonsai is harder to take care, but Lucky Bamboo and Money Tree are hardy plants.

Shop around, $100 can get you a very nice arrangement of Lucky Bamboo or Money Tree. Good luck!
