My link this week is to the short (20 min.) movie The Story of Stuff.
Although The Story of Stuff is not necessarily about living frugally, I think it is a must view for anyone who truly wants to spend and buy less. It is slightly political and definitely fanatical, but it is incredibly true. I especially appreciate the focus on the spending cycle- watch advertisements, buy stuff, work harder to watch advertisements, etc..
An incredibly important part of creating a truly frugal and simple lifestyle is learning to say "no", and learning the difference between true needs and perceived needs.
This movie is a great start.

I am SUCH a fan of The Story of Stuff! It can be life-changing. I agree that the chapter on consumerism was the most eye-opening to me. It is SO worth the twenty minute investment of time. Thanks for posting this!
This movie was fabulous. I watched it with my children and then I forwarded the link to my homeschooling group. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the link. Eye-opening! I'm forwarding it to my daughters and friends.
