Welcome to RJ Answers. Joining us today is 27-year-old entrepreneur Adil Jama. She's the owner of

Hadea Decor, which does wedding and event styling decor services. Adil is in the process of paying

down her student loans and her credit cards. She's also trying to grow her company and eventually

save for a down payment. She's not sure whether to hold

off on further investing in her business in order to finish paying off her debt or to focus on the

company. Here's our conversation. Hi, this is Rebecca Jarvis and you're with us on RJ Answers.

How are you? I'm doing great. How are you?

I'm doing well. Thanks for calling in. Tell me what your name is and how we can help you.

Hi, so, okay, my name is Dil Jama, and I'm a 27-year-old entrepreneur, and so I own a business in California, like I do wedding decor services. And so I own a business in California like I do wedding decor services and so I guess

my question is me and my husband have been working aggressively to pay our pay down our debt

in this past like year 2017 and so now that my business is king up I have more money coming in. I was wondering, would it be smart to kind of redirect the business profits and, you know, finish paying down our student loans and eventually safer house? Or should I just kind of concentrate on growing my business?

Well, first off, congratulations on the business. And you've been aggressively paying down

your debt. I love to hear that. That's a wonderful thing. And especially that the fact that you're

doing this at 27 years old, really important to get rid of that, especially that high interest

credit card debt as quickly as possible,

which sounds like that's been a big focus of yours. Tell me something. How, how's the business doing?

I mean, it's doing amazing. So I spent a lot of money in the first year, like, investing,

but I guess the first year I made, well, within a seven-month period of time because we started it in March.

We made like 100,000 in sales.

And so it was not what I expected.

So it was great.

And so this year is to make to make that amount.
