Lyn A. Dippel Interviewed by Eileen AJ Connelly for the Associated Press.  "I find that still, especially if they're stay-at-home moms, they're not in the know, or they don't have equal say," said Lyn Dippel, a financial planner with Financial Advantage in Columbia, Md.

That's compounded by much of the available information seeming like it's targeted toward men. "If you watch CNBC, it looks like ESPN," said Dippel. "It does not speak to women in the way that women want information."
