I'm curious if Mint is tracking my spending in an inflated manner by tracking transfers I make between accounts and credit card payments as expenditures? For instance, if purchase something on my credit card it shows up as an expense transaction assigned to a category like "shopping." Then I pay my credit card and this payment shows up as an expense transaction assigned to "credit card payment." So that expense is now counted twice on my spending for the month? Similarly if I move $1,000.00 from my checking account to my savings account is the withdrawal from checking tracked as an "expense?" If this is the case do I have to manually exclude transfers and credit card payments from expenditure tracking or can I set up a rule?
