Happy belated birthday. It sounds like you have received some really thoughtful gifts. I think the decision to withdraw from the job opportunity was sensible if it was keeping you awake at night.

Sending you birthday greetings and well done on the job decision. Not worth disturbing the peace of mind.
Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!2
