When a live-in guest helps with home chores
Dear Annie addresses two reader questions about rent free living and fair expectations. A Maryland reader asks if a girlfriend should be asked to help at home. Annie advises offering something in exchange to avoid resentment. In a separate letter a New Jersey reader seeks refund guidance for shipping costs on a returned gift. Annie clarifies who bears return and shipping costs and suggests reimbursing the giver.

Carbon copy risk in checks and ATM use
Dear Heloise explains how carbon copies on checks reveal sensitive data like credit card and Social Security numbers. She suggests adding the account number to the memo line after detaching the check and notes that ATM transactions can be balanced by choosing odd versus even numbers. Ken Rock of Richardson adds context and advisers say including the payment coupon may suffice for crediting if the statement is lost.
