There are several spend money and payslip transactions appearing under retained earnings under Equity.  
This should not be the case.  
How to fix it?

All Income & Expense Items also appear under the Retained Earnings account as that is double entry accounting.

When you see a profit & loss balance of 1234 profit, you don’t see that figure (1234) adjusting the retained earning account but the transactions making up that 1234 result - adjusting the retained earnings
