20% interest will kill you and that one purchase wont be your last. Ive seen it happen debt comes on fast!
But you are paying her not BB. Meaning BB will report to her credit not yours. Your mom is seriously setting you up for failure if she thinks that being an adult means signing onto some 25% APR credit card. Those credit cards are for trash.
I did this once on some furniture (from "The Brick). I made sure to pay it off on the second last month. That way I would get a statement showing a balance of zero with one month to go. If there had been some screw-up I would have had a month to make sure that the problem was corrected before the hundreds of dollars on interest became due.
It worked out okay in the end.
The companies make money from the small number of people who don't pay it off in time. Just be careful not to be one of them.

Thanks. My plan is to pay 30 dollars a month regularly and pay 40 or 50 on at least 3 or 4.
TO ALL: I appreciate all the help and concerns, but I'm a very organized person, so I make sure everything is done before I even move on (as in doing something else, sleeping, end of wkend or school
)
Thanks for your concern guys, but I already have my plan. In our family, we tend to pay our monthly bills, like Bill Me Later, higher than the monthly minimum.
Hopefully 24" will be big enough for a room smaller than 100" in height.

Hey guys! I just decided to go to Circuit City's financing offer and my mom just got approved for it. We are going to buy a Samsung LN40A500 for only $799 tomorrow!!! Thanks for all the help.
