Unlike traditional computers, which still store data in binary bits of zeros and ones, quantum computers can store them simultaneously in qubits. That approach enables quantum computers to process data much faster than binary computers, but the ones in operation now are also larger, more expensive, and consume more power while making more mistakes than binary computers.

The Motley Fool
MARCH 23, 2025
There's a reason retirees tend to claim Social Security at age 62 rather than wait. That's the earliest age to receive benefits, and many people want their money as soon as they can get it.

And perhaps the easiest way to get more Social Security is to file for benefits after reaching full retirement age (which is 67 for anyone born in 1960 or later).
