I admit it! I was one of those people socking away as much money as possible into my 401k account. I would like to lower that percentage to just get my company match, put the "extra" money from my paycheck into my high yield e-savings account until my first investment property is found.

My September Goals:

* Lower 401k contribution and put the difference into an "investment" account
* Overcome my fear of making my first investment purchase
* Search for first investment property that will produce positive cash flow
