+### why a GIT?
+Most websites on this topic are clickbait masquerading as a legitimate ideas for frugal living.
+Pay close attention, the first thing most of these blogs/vlogs/sockpuppet theatre articles do is attempt to provide you with a product or service
+you can click on to order.  Buying things != frugal living.
+GIT does not support sexy marketing tie-ins or branding, so its much easier to quickly convey the form and function of frugality.
