Money makes the world go round, as the old saying goes.

We could all use a little extra money, but imagine becoming a millionaire overnight! Maybe you find a family treasure hiding in your closet that could make you a lot of money.

For one man, buying a storage unit changed his life completely.

According to Dan Dotson, a star from the show Storage Wars and an auctioneer, a client bought a storage unit that was thought to be abandoned for just $500. If a storage unit hasn’t been paid for three months in a row, it can be auctioned off—something fans of the show already know.

On the show, people buy random storage units hoping to find something valuable inside.

One man opened his newly bought unit and found another safe inside, which had an incredible $7,500,000 in cash!

Dan Dotson shared this amazing story in a 2018 YouTube video. He explained that the man didn’t get to keep all the money because of an unfortunate situation.

In the three-minute video, Dan mentioned that a woman approached him at an event and said a family friend had bought a storage unit he auctioned off. Everyone was shocked to hear about the piles of cash inside.

The new owners of the unit then received a surprise call from the original owner’s lawyer, who offered them $600,000 to return the unit, cash included. They even raised the offer to $1.2 million!

The new owners chose to return the unit and the money, which left them with a profit of $1,199,500. Not a bad deal!

Dan believed that returning the cash was the right choice because they didn’t know where the money had come from in the first place.

This unusual story led to a lot of discussion in the YouTube comments, where people shared their opinions on what they would have done.

One person asked, “If there was that much money in the safe, why did they stop paying for the unit?”

Another commenter said, “I’d take their offer and be on my way, thanking the good Lord for the blessing,” while someone else agreed, “Take the offer. It’s the right thing to do.”

A fourth person suggested, “Keep the money and run. I wouldn’t have told anyone in the first place.”

Another commenter added, “I couldn’t sleep at night knowing my money was just sitting in a locker. And is that money taxable? If it is, I’d be gone—new name, new life with $7 million!”

Woman defends decision to tattoo boyfriend’s name on forehead, says it’s an expression of love

A woman who tattooed her boyfriend’s name on her forehead is defending her face art, suggesting that anyone who refuses to do the same, isn’t really in love.

Ana Stanskovsky, who penned a permanent love letter to Kevin on her face, insists it’s an expression of love, but online users are saying “it’s stupid” and that her “next boyfriend will hate it.”

Polish-born Ana Stanskovsky surprised her 588,000 TikTok followers by sharing a post of her newly transformed face.

In a viral TikTok clip, Stanskovsky is seen sitting in a chair, having some work done to her forehead.

The “my new face tattoo” video, which has 18.3 million views since it was first shared November 6, shows Stanskovsky getting her boyfriend’s name, penned in large black cursive letters, across her forehead.

The clip zooms in on the artist permanently inking over the stencil that reads “Kevin,” and Stanskovsky wincing in pain.

When the art is complete, she stands up to view her extreme expressions of love in the mirror.

“Done? Okay let’s see. Oh my God, I love it. Wow, Kevin’s gonna love it,” she says.

She finished the clip by asking her followers “Do you think he will like it?”

Responding to her question, one netizen jokes, “He’ll love it! Your next boyfriend will hate it though.” Another user writes, “I don’t know who Kevin is, but wherever you are…. Run!”

As the video hits the eyes of the puzzled social community, people are warning her of future regrets.

“Great decision here. I don’t see how you could ever regret this,” one fan shares.

Replying to the overwhelming suggestions of regret, Stanskovsky fired back with another clip saying she will never regret the Kevin tattoo.

Stanskvosky replies, “I know many of you said I’m gonna regret that and what if we break up and all of this stuff, all of this horrible stuff and I just wanna say this is how I’m expressing my feelings so if I love someone, I’m doing this.” She continues, “I’m loving it, I’m definitely never gonna regret that. How can I regret this? It’s beautiful.”

“A handwritten note is a precious way to express your feelings,” quips one cyber citizen.
Fans still aren’t convinced, and many think her outrageous announcement of love must be a joke.
“Wait. Wasn’t it a joke?” writes one while another says, “I was waiting for them to say it’s just a prank but
they never did.”
The influencer then tells viewers that every time she looks in the mirror she is “in love.”

“I’m in love with the tattoo and I’m in love with my boyfriend,” she said. “I think if you really love someone, you’ve just got to show it you know, you’ve just got to prove it…So I think if your girlfriend doesn’t want to tattoo your name on her face, you just need to find yourself a new girlfriend because I don’t think she loves you.”

Shocked by her comment, users jumped in saying she needs to reconsider her shows of love.

“‘if [your] girlfriend doesn’t want your name on the forehead she doesn’t love you,’” One netizen writes, quoting her. Then offering this advice to Kevin, the user continues, “dump her ASAP.”

Given the uncertainty of relationships, one netizen asks, “and if he breaks up with you what then?”

Stanskovsky answers: “What if we break up? I’ll just have to find myself a different Kevin.”

But one person has a better idea: “It would be better if you wrote on it that I am stupid.”

At the moment there’s been no response from Kevin.

What do you think of this woman getting her boyfriend’s name tattooed across her forehead?

There are far better ways of expressing your love, and if you insist on a grand gesture, maybe a smaller tattoo in a place it’s not so visible?
