Navigating our money lives can be messy. The myriad decisions we make every day about good money habits, where to invest, and how to balance saving and paying down debt are no easy lift. I regularly hear from readers asking for advice about their own situations and challenges. The following is an edited sample of readers’ questions and my answers. Retirees should typically hold at least five, if not 10, years’ worth of living expenses in a combination of cash and high-quality bonds.

Quantum Computing In 2025Quantum computing involves using quantum physics to perform calculations, which differs from normal semiconductor-based computing methods. Instead of generating 0 and 1 (no current or current), it uses “quantum bits,” called qubits, where particle data is either 0 AND 1 at once, 1, or 0.This could be a game changer for very complex calculations, like climate modeling, cryptography, or the 3D configuration of complex molecules like proteins.It also requires a very different type of hardware than “normal” computing, a field still very much in its infancy, akin to the first microprocessors in the 1970s.You can read more about what makes quantum computing so unique and the challenge in making a mainstream way of performing calculations in “ The Current State of Quantum Computing ”.Recent MilestonesFrom the first proof-of-concept a few years ago, quite a few milestones have been achieved recently, as well as pioneering steps in entirely new ways to do quantum computing:All of these advancements are, for now, mostly academic and made in labs but are likely to be quickly integrated into quantum computers' design by the leading companies in the sector.Especially as the race to produce the first scalable commercial quantum computer heats up, which would be an instant hit with defense departments, financial institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and top research institutes.Here are the 5 top quantum computing companies in 2025.1. Alphabet / GoogleAlphabet Inc. (GOOGL -0.66% )Google is very active in quantum computing, mostly through its Google Quantum AI lab and Quantum AI campus in Santa Barbara.Google's quantum computer made history in 2019 when It claimed to have achieved “quantum supremacy” with its Sycamore machine. The machine performed a calculation in 200 seconds that would have taken a conventional supercomputer 10,000 years.This is now dwarfed by the performance of its newest chip, Willow. Willow is the first quantum computing chip with an error rate low enough that the more qubits you add, the less error you get
