Moonrambler, the same feeling that you are talking about I have. The logical answer I've got is something like, there is great abundance in the world for everyone, not just you. So because everyone can have as much as they want themselves, you are not obligated to give it to them or to withhold it from yourself.
The other annoying thing is what seems wasteful changes easily. Peeling an apple and throwing away the peel is wasteful to some people, for example. Buying the organic apples that are a bit moe money are also wasteful tos ome people.
Grrr. How annoying. Among the best advice I've actually gotten on this subject is to just do it. Get the money and worry about the rest later. I know from LoA we feel like we're just living in our heads, but this advice has actually been pretty useful to me lately.
While rationally these answers make sense, I don't feel it. There is some other issue that needs to square this stuff with my conscience.
