If you've been laid off, how upfront are you about it in interviews? Better to let them know right away or further into the process?

Upfront because they will pull your finra broker check report before the interview.

I haven’t been laid off but I have been fired. It always comes up so you’d better have an explanation.

I’ve never been fired/laid off, but I’ve interview people that have. Trust me, we know before you came in. I actually don’t bring it up and wait until they do. If they have a reasonable answer, no issue. If they bash their old company or blame others, that’s a red flag.

I’ve brokerchecked myself and don’t see any mention of being terminated by a previous firm. Am I missing something or does it not report this info?

Using a Bank of Canada inflation calculator $55,000 in 1981 is equivalent to ~$165,000 today, which would put someone in the top 10% of earners today. But in 1981 the median family had that extra money. Who can I blame?

Everyone has a different perspective on this but would love to hear yours. Someone has debt ranging say 4-5% interest rates. Do you attack debt more then investing to move towards a debt free life or do you go after investments since they return historically above that then paying down closer towards retirement. I know the latter looks better on paper but what about the psychological factors of being debt free and the guaranteed return on interest savings.
