Cost-of-Living

Definition

The amount of money required to sustain basic needs such as food, shelter, and energy within current economic systems.

Interpretation

A modern shackle. In the Multiverse, β€œcost-of-living” is a reminder of how we’ve monetized survival itself β€” turning breath, soil, and belonging into bills. The Maslow Initiative asks: What if the cost of living were zero?

Living Invitation

Imagine one thing in your life that could be met freely by the land (water, food, energy). Take one step toward reclaiming it.
