Pie chart reports

[Derek Atkins]

Well, a "loan" to your friend is more like an asset than an expense.
Similarly, a loan that you receive (e.g. a mortgage) is a liability,
not an income :)

I would recommend you change the account type to an asset; then, as
your friend repays you, you can transfer funds from your "asset"
account to your bank account.
