We do owe those around us. We are a society built on good will. The kindness of others has given me everything I value in life. It is my responsibility to pay into it. Sometimes we cannot afford to. That is fine. A lifetime of good deeds covers moments of necessary selfishness. If this was one such moment for you, don't feel bad about it. But if you could afford to take the time and wealth to make the world better, do.
