I have sat down with all my bills and I can't fiqure out what I should try to pay first. I have about $1,500 in medical bills, and $10,000 in cc debt. Should I try to get the medical bills paid up and then work on the cc debt??

A little of each. Obviously, you can't let the CC bills go delinquent because that will increase your interest rate sky-high. I'd put any extra money toward the medical bills first.

I agree, a little of each...Are you on a payment plan with the medical bills, so that they aren't expecting one lump sum? That would make it easier on you (psychologically anyway ), and pay what you can towards the CC (even $10 a month over the minimum (if you are able to put a little extra) makes a big difference).
