budget and investments

Buying funds etc. is treated as an expense from the
budget point of view, since investment accounts are out
of budget. I don't think it is correct.
How do you manage this?
If I save $1000 this month and decide to buy a shares
etc. the budget planner tells me that my expenses are to
high... how can I tell to it that this is NOT an expense?
Thank you!!

I "exclude" those transfer type transactions from the budget. I do it one
by one by looking at each transaction and click on exclude.

If you enter your "buys" as transfers to an appropriate account, then they
aren't considered expenses-they are considered transfers.
