Maslow's Hierarchy (of FIRE)

"As with breathing and food, we have to get the basics right and there are two key things here. We first must get the attitude to money right. If you think that the government will look after you, money will take care of itself, or you’ll win the lottery then you’re not thinking about money correctly... The second part is perhaps easier in theory/emotion but harder for many in practice. You have to be spending less than your income every month. Without this nothing can happen, and you’ll never get better. So buckle up and slash those costs."
