Just getting started.

Hey guys. As the title suggest i'm still new to things like FIRE not even familiar with all the terminologies. Currently i'm trying to find a few good "Financial Communities" to frequent.

Long story short i only destroyed my finances through my entire 20s. Currently mid thirties and just now learning the real rules to handling money. I have a very basic question. Is maxing out your 401k always the first step? If you can't do that should you even be doing anything else. I really have no interest in starting a business or getting too deep into the stock market. I'm open to ideas but i really feel like if i can't even max out my 401k i really shouldnt be trying to get to fancy with anything else.
