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.
