[quote=Anonymous]It's absolutely worth calling the hospital to see what they can  work out with you. Worst case, they're inflexible on the total amount--you're not any worse off than you were before you called. But if you can work out a schedule with them, then you know what you're on the hook for each month and you'll be better able to plan.

As for the credit card debt, I think the smallest debt vs highest interest is really dependent on your own personality, the relative size of the accounts, and the relative interest rates. Let's imagine you have 3 cards total with debts owed of $250 at 18%, $2000 at 13%, and $2250 at 22%. To me, it would make total sense to knock out the smallest card first because then it's done and you have one less payment to worry about. But on the next two, I would absolutely prioritize the one at the higher interest rate because it's significantly higher and you'll save a good amount of money and pay the loans off faster if you tackle that one first.
