Mint counting an IRA contribution as a pure expense
I recently made an IRA contribution for this year. I use Mint for financial tracking and it seems strange that it counts the K contribution as a simple expense, despite it also being able to see my investment account receiving a complementary increase.

Financially speaking is it still an expense so I should just leave it like that? The big negative red bar in the monthly net income graph then sticks out :P Or: am I subtly misusing Mint; can I tweak something to make it show up better?

This is just a case of Mint not categorizing correctly. You can simply recategorize the line items as "Transfer" in order for them to be considered neutral.
