I agree. Worry about yourself first, until you get to a point where you love all the aspects of your own life. Then start giving back, while maintaining the joy you've secured in your own consciousness.
I've learned I can live very happliy on 40k a year. I have and do everything I ever wanted. I eat great vegan food, I have a nice place to live in a great area, I love my friends, I drive a newer model Acura, I see Arcade Fire when I want, I travel some, I snowboard, I play tennis, etc. What more could I want?
Any excess beyond the 40k I invest in lightworking. Also, I spend that initial 40k on things that I want to support. If you look at the list above I support organic food, good bands, Southwest airlines, etc. I don't spend money on things I don't feel are net positive. I spend my 40k on things that I want to see more of. For example, I don't use credit cards or take out loans because I don't want to support the debt ratio in our country.
As far as I can tell, using a darkworker type mentality to generate income and a lightworker type mentality to spend that income works pretty damn well. I don't think this conflicts with Steve's polarity writings, I can use a highly polarized dark (competitive) mentality to generate income, and a highly polarized light mentality to spend it.
Note that I work in the IT field, so darkworkers in my industry have a highly developed technical skillset that they use to
generate as much income as possible. This would generally be done by consulting for banks or other large companies who are willing to pay a very high hourly rate ($100/hour or more.) There's no "evil darkworker deeds" being done in the IT field, except for maybe by hackers, who just get caught sooner or later. There's no money in hacking anyway.
