Here is a SAHM who takes careful budgeting to new heights. It must, of course, be noted that since her DH is military, the family is probably covered in terms of health insurance.
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-a-family-of-four-manages-to-live-well-on-just--14-000-per-year-174803218.html
"Wagasky, 28, lives with her her husband, Jason, 31, and their two young children in a three-bedroom family home in Las Vegas, Nevada. While Jason, a member of the U.S. Army, completes his undergraduate studies, the family's only source of income is the $14,000 annual cost of living allowance he receives under the G.I. Bill. Despite all odds, the family has barely any credit card debt, no car payment, and no mortgage to speak of."
[...]
"By the time Wagasky's husband came home from Iraq, they had managed to scrape together the $30,000 they needed for a downpayment on a home.
"But we decided the best option would be not to have a mortgage payment at all," she said. "We found a fixer-upper that didn't have a kitchen ... and we paid cash." "

How would a student be disturbed?

That's great!

OH okay...I'm thinking of my kids, their phones never ring, they are silent.

Same here, jackets are not popular. My dd just earned her first letter recently & I asked her about buying one & she said nobody buys them. I meant to ask about the rings,since that came up here. I hope no one gets class rings, who really cares about them once you graduate. (I did get a class ring when I was in hs). The senior pics are a big deal here--and yes it looks like many people go to some location to take the pictures.
My nephew went here for his senior pics (not this photographer, the place)

LoL, then I'm thinking they should be controlling much more than cell phones in class!
PumpkinAngel
I find it very distracting, personally, when someone is using their cell phone to text or surf the web during class. Not to mention, it's pretty rude. As long as it's not during actual instructional time though, I don't really care.
