Recently there was a music video that took the parody world by storm – “I’m Sexy and I Know It.” This is the type of song I would never sing…unless I was being silly and dancing around the house like a freak of nature. Not that I would ever do such a thing. *Cough* The song is really rather vulgar. And I would NOT recommend watching the video…unless you think Speedos are sexy. Pardon me while I go gag.
Anyway, there was a SMART girl who decided to make a video called “I’m Pregnant and I Know It.” If you haven’t seen this video yet, go watch it. It’s pretty funny. 😆 On You Tube you can be “ANYTHING and You Know It.”
My friend Tia, from Sweet T Photography, suggested that Barry and I make a video with the same song and call it, “I’m Debt Free and I Know It.”
As you might guess, this tickled me to pieces. We had SUCH FUN making this music video…and let me tell you, I got some WEIRD looks at the gas station – and a few times I was worried about getting mugged for my $20.
Barry is the voice you hear in the video – he sang it…and he’s pretty good if I say so myself. He put everything together and I wrote the lyrics. So, enjoy. 😀
We’re debt free….and we KNOW IT.
*Those of you on mobile devices will need to find a computer to watch. Because we used an official karaoke soundtrack, YouTube placed some restrictions on viewing the video on mobile phones or televisions. 🙁
You can do it! Holla!
This is hilarious!! Already sharing it with others & can’t wait to sing it ourselves! Our goal is to be debt free by Christmas 2013! 🙂
Oh my gosh, I love this video! With Dave Ramsey’s system, we have eliminated half our debt and should be debt-free in the next two years. When that happens, I’m totally celebrating by dancing to this video! LOL You should send this to Dave!
We did. 🙂 No response.
love it!
Thanks!
Stacy, That video is just precious. You and your family brings such joy and knowledge to so many people. Thank you for sharing. Being debt free truly makes ones life so much better.
I love you, Peggy!!!
LOVE it!!!!! Great job – and Barry has a great voice! I’m going to see/hear Dave Ramsey tonight in Knoxville!
WOW! You will have a fabulous time!!! I’m jealous!
Hi Stacy 😉
I’ve recently discovered your website/blog etc. and I’ve been so inspired by you. My husband and I are working towards getting debt free ourselves! I can’t wait until we can say “WE USE CASH!” We’ve actually been on the right track as far as credit cards go, we haven’t had a credit card in over 5 years. But we still have debt. Some unemployment and taking new jobs/paycuts have hurt us but we’re getting there. Two years ago was rough for us, we both lost our jobs, forced to take lower paying jobs. But I started couponing and we’ve saved so much. We used to spend 400$ or more in groceries each month but I’ve shaved that down to under $150 a month, sometimes less!!! We also lost our home to foreclosure and filed bankruptcy. But we have vowed this year and the years to come are going to be different. We’re saving $$$ in our savings account and lots of it for the first time! Thank you for being such an inspiration. Right now I’m focusing on paying our car off, taking those savings from groceries and applying it to the car to get it paid off!!! And the next house we buy we’ll be buying it with CASH! No financing for us!!! I look forward to the day I can sing along with you, I’m Debt Free and I Know it!!
Girl – you’re kickin’ it!!! 🙂
OH. MY. GOSH! I LOVE IT!!!!
THIS is so how i’m going to announce my freedom from debt. No words. Just this and facebook 🙂
Great job!!
LOL You’ll have a total blast!
You and your family are SO cute! I really enjoyed watching this…I just found your blog, and you’ve really inspired me!
🙂 Thanks….that’s a very nice compliment.
Stacy – what a CUTE video!!! I didn’t know what to expect, but I couldn’t help but smile through the whole thing. You and Barry (and Annie) are sooo cute!! We did TMMO and paid everything off, which allowed us to purchase our house back in 2010 (first home, 15 years into our marriage with three kids). We’ve gotten a little bit back in debt, plus the house… but we are dusting off our FPU stuff and getting gazelle again! Found your blog, somehow – and feel very inspired! Thanks for sharing!!
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!! 🙂 You run from that cheetah girl. And if you need any push, you give me a holler. 🙂
Before seeing the end I thought “You’ve got to contact Dave Ramsey with that video!” Haha- what an amazing vido, great job. And good job being debt free!
Blessings,
Nicole

I did finally send it to him. But I imagine he gets so much email that he’ll never see it. 🙂 Thanks Nicole!
You’re a hoot! I really enjoyed that! 🙂
LOL I’m glad! 🙂
Nice job!! lol very creative nothing as good as having financial freedom 🙂

Now let me go sing the grand old duke of york so i can get the i’m sexy and i know it off my head {scream}since i can’t sing i’m debt free yet lol blessings to you and yours.
Sure, go ahead and sing it! 🙂 It’s a motivational song.
This is the first time in my life that anyone has called me a rock star. I gotta tell my sister!
I’m so glad you linked this up! Once again, I almost missed a video because I check my feeds in the mornings and don’t want to wake up the kids with the noise. So funny! <3 you!
Funny…..or crazy. Yes. Both. 😉
That is HILARIOUS!!! Sharing that on Facebook right now!!! I read every post you write since I found your blog, you are a constant inspiration and never fail to put me back on track by reminding of my health and financial goals for my family. THANK YOU for that!
Thank you for sharing! 🙂 We hope it gets lots of laughs….it sure did while we were making it!
this video was awesome!! my kids loved it… lol!
Kids can be a rough crowd, so I’m honored! 🙂
Stacy, I love your posts, and your sense of humor! Really enjoyed the video. We should be debt-free early next week when we sign the papers to sell our house. Very emotional–but we are soooo looking forward to being debt-free again! Hey, who knows, maybe we will make our own version of your video? Ummm, actually, no, I’m not that brave—-but I am sure we will be doing some screaming and dancing around! Thanks again for taking the time to share a bit of yourself with the world via your blog. You never fail to put a smile on my face!
🙂 Thank you, Cathy! Congratulations on your new life!!! You’ll love it. And I don’t really consider myself brave – just crazy. Ha!
That’s MY BROTHER?!?!?!? Wow. I can’t believe it! Stacy—you get 2 thumbs up for bravery in public places. I never could have done that with a strait face,but you totallly pulled it off! After medical and house maybe we can sing along. 🙂
Yes, that’s your brother. 🙂 Isn’t he awesome?!
Loved it!!! We can’t wait until we can sing it too!!
I’ll sing with you!
Oh my, you guys are too hilarious! 😀
My 18 month old daughter came over to my desk and is dancing to your song, love it! ^.^
I’m very honored! 🙂 I love it when kids dance!
Love this!!
Thanks Kellie!
You guys totally rock….I enjoy your posts more every day and this one was soooo funny!!!!!
🙂 Well, I’m glad. I was a bit worried everyone would think we were nutso. LOL
This video is great! My first time here and I would love to be debt free! Actually, that IS my top goal this year and I’m failing at it ;-(
Dawn, let us know how we can help. You can download Barry’s budget eBook for free by signing up for my emails….
Hysterical! You are too cute for words.
LOL Thank you.
Stacy, that is funny! You did your role so well, I would have been embarrassed since I’m not much of an actor, lol! LOVE it!
LOL I got some funny looks. 🙂
SO cute Stacy!!! I love it!!! Lol yes, send it to Dave! He would love it!! 😉
Haven’t done it yet. LOL Thanks Jami!!
Stacy,
That was terrific. I loved it.
Recently you did a post on it was enough to “do your best” and I commented to you that day that your message came just at the right time because our house was on the market (notice I said “was”) and I was busy with my editing job at home and hardly had time to try and keep the house in “show view,” and that people were coming to look at the house that afternoon.
They did. They bought! The Lord did so many miracles in the sale; it was amazing. Now we’ll be spending the summer in an apartment (here in Montana), while we build our pole building house on the same land with our family, including four granddaughters in Idaho – with CASH! The mortgage was the last debt to go.
Thanks for all you do. Even though I’m busy (as most everyone is), I always read your posts.
Love from
Roxy in Montana (soon to be Idaho)
Roxy, that is AWESOME!!!!!!!! I’m so happy for you! Thanks for telling me. 🙂 I remember your comment.
I laughed so hard! *L* That was truly hilarious, I can’t wait to so it to the Mr. *LOL*
🙂 I hope he enjoys it too! Thanks Tracy!!!
Love it!!! I was trying to laugh but my pregnancy hormones made me cry hahaha Wonderful video <3 it!!!!
Hey…my pregnancy hormones make me pee when I laugh. LOL
Bwaaaahaaahaaa! :0)
🙂 That made ME laugh!
I LOLed 😀
Good job!
Me too, girl! 🙂
This is great!! Thanks for the laugh today. I agree….send it to Dave!!! You guys are so fun!
I’m not sure I’m that bold. We’ll see. 🙂
My dd2 and I watched this together and in her words (while she danced) “I like this, she’s funny!!!”
🙂 You tell her I said, thank you very much!
Oh my goodness! I love you guys more and more with every post. Y’all make my day!
PS – We’ll be singing this too in just a matter of weeks. Scheduled to do our debt free scream from Dave’s offices on June 25! 🙂
AWESOME!!!!!!!! It’s so much fun there! 🙂 And the coffee counter rocks! Look for my name on the wall! 🙂 It’s about eye level.
🙂 I’m flattered!
Bravo! very inspiring and I am really enjoying your posts!
Thanks! I really enjoy writing them. 🙂
Wow. That’s all.
Somehow, I expected this comment from you.
That is hilarious!! I can’t tell you how much that made my day!!! Thanks!
🙂 Thanks for sharing it on Facebook, Katy!
This is AWESOME!!! And totally made my day 🙂
🙂 Thanks, Sarah!
Oh my gosh! Stacey! Ya’ll are such ‘hoots’! The rhythm and beat, and his voice…!!! Great job!!! Cash is the only way to go!!! And to be debt free, wow!!! We’re ‘getting there’. We no longer have any car payments, yay! Our mortgage will be paid off in less than 14 years, yay! We do everything ourselves,…. yay? Love your video and thanks for sharing! Blessings from Bama!
Doesn’t your car drive so much better? 🙂
“Doesn’t your car drive better” sounding just like Dave! My neighbor just bought a brand new Lexus, because the transmission or engine went out in his El Camino, and his Corvette “only holds socks and underwear.” He claimed days before buying the new car that he didn’t really want a payment, and next thing I know there’s a new Lexus in the driveway. He told me his lame excuse about the El Camino, and I told him what Dave says-that a car drives better with no payment behind it, but my neighbor apparently likes to impress people with his fancy cars and debt 🙂
Loved your video, and motivated me to stay on track with Dave and FPU!
Thanks so much!
PS I saw your video on FB on Frugal Sally’s page 🙂
Frugally Sally is a sweetheart. 🙂 And yes, they DO drive better. And I also think that people are more impressed when you’re debt free…much more impressed than they are about your car payment. LOL
Whoo hoo!! Love this.. you guys look like you’re having a blast doing it and Barry is awesome! Loved it and am so proud of you! I vote for you to send it to Dave too!!
I’m getting lots of those votes. I’m too nervous so far to do it!
Oh my word! That was so awesome, Stacy! And yes, Barry’s got it going on there. I didn’t know y’all were so talented! This is great. Congrats! 🙂
He’s a GREAT singer! 🙂 Thanks LeighAnn!
Too funny! You are a genius!!! I’m sharing this on facebook!!!!
Thank you! I’m very honored. 🙂
This is awesome! Y’all did such a good job and this is so fitting I paid my car off in CASH yesterday !!! I thank God for people like for being a walking example of how you can be debt free. P.S. You have got to send this to Dave Ramsey he is going to absolutely love it !!!! Much love from Alabama
YESTERDAY?! Wooohooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
That was awesome! So well done. Congrats to you guys, too. That’s such an accomplishment.
🙂 Thank you, Cheri!
LOVE it!!!! Never would have known that was Barry’s voice, he did great! Love your cute preggo shirts. Love seeing Annie!
You should enter this in a contest(no, I don’t know of a contest) you would win!!!
Love you guys!!!
If you find a contest, you just let me know. 🙂
i love it !!!!!thank you for sharing 🙂
🙂 Thank you for watching!!
THAT was hilarious!!!! My kids came out of their rooms to watch it and you know what they said? Hey mom, can we be debt free too? Someday soon….You know, if you need some extra cash for that new house, Barry could always hit the club circuit. Just sayin’…..
LOL Oh my gosh!!! That made me snort! 🙂
I love this! Just a couple days ago I found the link to your debt free scream (I’ve only known about your blog for 3 or 4 months). I was so encouraged by that. My husband and I have a lot of debt right now, but we are finally on the “road to recovery”!! We’re right in the middle of FPU and should be able to start out debt snowball in August!!
I LOVE your blog (and Barry’s ebook It’s Not About Money) and am so excited to have a plan and a goal!!
I’ve always told my husband that I want to go see Dave to do our debt free scream!
Thanks for all the encouragement that you offer here. You have been a great blessing to me!
You HAVE to go!!!!!!!!!!! It’s so much fun, girl! 🙂
Having a plan is the first step…I’m a planner. Plans rock. 🙂 And let us know how we can help!!
Awesome! Good job, you guys!
🙂 Barry is very talented. Thanks Anne!
That was so hilarious, thanks for making me laugh today!!! And you look like you had FUN doing it. You should send that into Dave Ramsey – He most certainly would publicize it!!!
LOL I’m not sure about that…he might run!
Sorry, didn’t read first….I agree with Debra! You SHOULD send it to Dave Ramsey!!! Send it, Send it, Sent it!!!
Eventually I’ll cave under pressure. 😉
This is priceless! Positive vibes to the Myers family from Idaho 🙂
Thanks Virginia! 🙂 We’re having fun with it!
Awesome video!!! You guys look like you had a blast making the video!
LOL We got some really crazy looks, that’s for sure!
That. Was. Awesome!!! I love it! I knew you guys could take that and run with it, you both did a great job, and WOW, I could NOT have been jumping up and down when I was pregnant, I was doing good to GET up and down!
I can’t believe I did it….I’m still in utter shock. 🙂 Thanks for the great idea!
Too fun!
LOL Yeah, it was!
Could you make the video available on mobile please?
Oops! I forgot that. 🙂 It’s ready now!
You Tube says I cannot unlock it. 🙁
Can you unlock it to be watched on a mobile device?
Yes, I just did….I didn’t know I hadn’t done that. 🙂 Thanks!
You Tube says it won’t allow me to do this. 🙁
Stacy…you are too funny. 🙂 I shared it.
Thanks Kate! 🙂 My debt-hating sister!
That was actually really good! You’re right, his voice was great and you were perfect – loved it!
You oughtta send this to Dave Ramsey – he’ll get such a kick out of it and maybe put on his website or something!
LOL I might do that…if I work up the courage. 🙂 When I met him, I was star struck.
i was cracking up at this video. i prob wasn’t watching this at work. cough, cough my coworker kept asking what are you watching? why is that crazy lady at target? fyi, i defended you when all of this didn’t happen. love you stacy! annie is gonna be a star one day. 🙂
If you weren’t watching it at work then your name probably also isn’t Sherry….names have been changed to protect the innocent. 😉
That was probably the best music video I have ever seen! I can’t wait to make that call!!!
YEAH!!! And let me know when you do so I can rejoice with you!
Love it, love it, love it! All three of you did a great job. 😉
🙂 I’ll tell Annie.
This is awesome! Now I want to do one. 😀 Maybe I’m Mama and I Know It… or something.
That would ROCK! 🙂
Ohh, oh, I know!! The whole “but whyyyy???” thing…. “Cause I’m Mama and you know it!”
LOL Good one, Tia!!!
Outta tha ballpark girl! Thanks for the laugh; nicely done.
I’m pretty good for a laugh. 🙂 Thanks Delores!
This is a hoot! You have to send it to Dave. I’m so proud of you all, my friend!!
I might…but that makes me nervous! LOL
Ohhh do it!!
LOL
This was great! I love it! You guys are such an inspiration, keep it !
