Aaron Tucker had been out of prison for seven days. He had less than $2 in his pocket and one shot at turning his life around, a job interview that morning. Then he saw a car flip over and catch fire from his bus window.
He asked the bus driver if he was going to help. "No, but if you get out I'm going to leave," the driver replied. Tucker got out anyway.
He sprinted toward the upside-down, smoke-filled car and found the 61-year-old driver covered in blood.
He unbuckled the man's seatbelt and dragged him clear as the car started to catch fire.
He pulled off his own dress shirt and used it to stop the man's head wound from bleeding, telling him: "You're going to be all right. Your family wants to see you. Keep your eyes open."
The bus left. Tucker missed his interview.
When the story got out, strangers set up a GoFundMe that raised over $50,000 in three days. He also received multiple job offers in construction.
"I feel like a job can come and go, but a life is a one-time thing," Tucker said. "The job just wasn't in my mind at that time."
Former NFL star Chad Ochocinco says he saved most of his $49 million in career earnings by wearing fake jewelry, flying commercial, and living below his means: “Why am I buying a $50K watch when time is free?”
Amber was 22 and serving in the military when she met Faheem Najm, a kid from Tallahassee with a dream and no record deal. She gave him her number on a piece of paper. He kept it.
They married on September 11, 2003, before the fame, before the Auto-Tune, before any of it. Three kids: Lyriq, Muziq, and Kaydnz.
When T-Pain went through four years of depression and nearly lost everything, Amber didn't leave. She co-founded Nappy Boy Entertainment with him, managed his career, and pulled him back up.
On their 18th anniversary, he posted the original piece of paper with her number on it. "Thank you for sticking with me through all the crazy stuff."

Throwback video 2014. A man confronted a woman, who claimed she was late to work, for disrespecting an MTA bus driver for picking up a lady with a wheelchair.
A grandson checked his grandma’s camera and nearly panicked when he realized the “big stray cat” she had been feeding was actually a mountain lion.
For days, his grandmother had been casually talking about a wild cat that kept showing up near her house. She insisted it looked hungry, said it was sweet from a distance, and kept describing it like it was just some oversized stray that needed a little help. Her grandson laughed it off at first, figuring she had probably gotten attached to some unusually chunky neighborhood cat. But one night, he finally got the camera notification he had been waiting for.
The second he opened the live feed, his stomach dropped. There, right outside his grandmother’s house, was no house cat at all. It was a full-grown mountain lion, and his grandma was calmly feeding it like it was just another animal passing through the yard. He immediately tried calling her, but she did not answer, which only made the whole thing worse. By the time she finally called him back, he was already panicked.
He asked her what she thought she was doing, and she answered like nothing was wrong. To her, it was just that same “big cat” she had been telling him about. When he told her it was a mountain lion, she reportedly brushed it off and said she thought he meant the obese cat she had been feeding. That only made the conversation even more absurd, because to her, the animal still looked more hungry than dangerous.
Wildlife officials were later called and checked the area, eventually explaining that food had become scarce nearby, which was driving mountain lions closer to homes in search of something to eat. The animal was safely trapped and relocated deeper into the wild, where it would have a better chance of finding food away from neighborhoods. But the funniest part may have been the family’s reaction afterward.
The grandmother still seemed more concerned that the animal had been hungry than the fact that it was a mountain lion, even saying she would probably feed it again if she thought it needed help. Her grandson, meanwhile, could only remind her of one thing:
“Grandma, that is not a baby.”
