($2000 x 6 months= $12k,)Try save up to 10% gross of my pay check after the $2k budget is met then put the rest into debt reduction.Find somebody I can work with/for in Real Estate Investing to learn hands on and observe their methods.Use the 10% gross savings to invest in a property.Get free of all debt but business and eventually be able to go all cash as it makes sense.Establish at least 3 other streams of income (preferably 5) so we are not reliant on my commissions to meet the budget.

I am curious if they are just earning lower returns or have other strategies to boost their ROI.
