  why u guys all scold until like that?

  the accumulation of those little cents saved every month with the effect of inflation combined may spell out to a few hundred bucks saved in decades to come by..

  the thing is there will always be someone at home...old people don't go out that much(grandparents)...and what if someone wants to call back home but cannot call because mio is switched off...

  btw, the other thing that needs to be switched on 24hrs is oxygen pump for fishes...but it's out of point.
