What should I do to move toward financial freedom?

[Owen Budden]

Hi I just turned 22 and I work as a HVAC tech in Burlington County, NJ. Currently Im making $15 a hour and Im in about $16000 in debt between car and students loans along with credit card debt. I badly want to get into the industry and start flipping, managing, or selling real estate. What steps should/ can I take towards my goals besides saving money and educating myself? Thanks everyone
