re: Do you ever wake up on Sundays and not want to go to Church?

I understand that feeling. Honestly, I enjoy attending church in large part due to the community aspect. I have some phenomenal relationships in the church that have really helped shape my life.
As far as the money gripe goes, I’ve always been confused by the annoyance of that. People are perfectly fine with consuming from the church but get so touchy when the church asks for funding. I know quite a few conservative people who bash folks who take welfare on the basis of “they just feel entitled and have no problem letting others foot the bill” but do the same thing when it comes to church. You’re fine with the lights and AC staying on. You’re fine with the various resources the church offers. You’re fine with your kids having a safe and secure space on Sundays. You’re fine with the messages being filmed and broadcasted so you can consume them online at your convenience.
But folks don’t wanna give a dime to pay for any of that. It’s interesting. I understand the black eyes the church has gotten by televangelists asking for private jet money but if you feel like your church leadership is irresponsible with money, I’d go to a different church.

I would understand this but the church doesn't sell any tangible products, I don't know what they expect.

If I don’t go in person, I watch online.

Well they do have payroll, building maintenance, retirement funds, utilities, outreach, mission trips etc. All of which require funds.

No doubt.
And I didn’t mean it to come across as fussing at the OP, just something that has been on my mind at times. It’s not like the church can sell stock to fund keeping the lights on. If no one gives, you can’t sit home and watch online.

Jesus didn’t go to church.

Jesus actually spent a good bit of time in the synagogue. Now he also preached outside of a formal building often, but he preached in the synagogue as well.

Can’t Catholics go on Saturday afternoon to ‘get it over with’ so they don’t have to waste their Sunday?
In the "Bible Days" the folks considered Sunday to begin on Saturday evening, rather than at midnight, like today.
So, Saturday evening Mass is the same as Sunday Mass, because, well, it IS Sunday.
And, yes, of course - if a baw has been going to church every Sunday for his entire life, after a few decades, he might get tired of it.

Do you think He really needs this? Or is there something psychologically beneficial for you to praise the Creator?

Pretty much since I discovered Mid South Wrestling on WBRZ back in 1984.
Then my lack of desire just kept on…

Have you ever questioned this? Doesn’t the statement invite a little scrutiny?
What’s the cause and effect relationship, and couldn’t a loving God come up with a more loving solution?
Seems a bit muzzy.

I don't go as much as I should or need too. Missing today because I have cattle in calving pens now calving and I see feet sticking out of one. Plan on going more once calving season is over.

I grew up that way. Every single Sunday. Maybe missed 5-10 times my entire childhood. Don’t go near as much now. It’s hard to get back into it.

Every week and I don’t go

Well, I think the Bible tells us to praise God.
Hebrews 13:15-16. Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise — the fruit of lips that openly profess his name. And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.”
I don’t think he “needs” praise. But we should praise Him.

Did you really pull the "I'm spiritual, but not religious" trope that every 19 year old pulls?
Yes. Try going to a church for years only to find out your pastor fricks other dudes in public restrooms at a brec park. Oh, and your pastor is married to a woman and has three children.
