We recently spoke with personal finance columnist Michelle Singletary about how to manage money during times of uncertainty.

The Money Ladies are back. Michelle Singletary and Rana Foroohar will be our guides for what to watch for in your personal finance and national economy this year.

Andy wants to share one of his favorite episodes from this year that's just as relevant today as it was when we taped it. The price of goods like gasoline and food is up sharply amid the highest inflation since the 1970s, and a stock market slump may be impacting your investment portfolio. What should you do as you watch the pump tick up and your 401(k) tick down? Andy sits down with two money experts, the Washington Post's Michelle Singletary and President Obama's Economic Advisor Betsey Stevenson, to better understand what's going on in our economy right now and how to weather this storm.
