I've already told you, about a million times, about the "extras" in your budget, which you insist are not extras, so I don't see any point in going though the whole litany again, do you?

Sex before sleep!!! Sex before Sleep!!!

Just trying to show you that there is not much "extras" in our budget as we do not make tons of money that is being wasted.

No, not here. I am aware of this as my mom gets gas cards at Walmart in GA.

My point is, it is not always a choice.

I NEVER said any of those were needs. Daycare, yes since we can live on my dh's salary.

It's not a "waste" of money to spend it on things you enjoy. Nobody said you "wasted" your money. It is, however, NOT the case that all the things you spend money on are things you need, and that you do not have categories that could be cut if you wanted to save more. You just don't want to save as much as you want to spend.
