Solitary Practitioner by Scott Cunningham question

My contact for questions is unavailable has anyone read or have advice? I am understanding most but do have a few questions..
1. They talk about being selfless but if you do a spell for yourself (money, luck, anything to gain) isnt that selfish? How can you "justify" cast a spell for yourself? Lets say money spell: Usually you want money for items you want..not need..human nature? We are a family that lives paycheck to paycheck..however there are things we can change our spending on..I would not cast a spell to gain without being completely in need .
2. He talks a lot about raising energy or power with yourself, but then he goes on about being on a different plain and or portal..To me this may seem dangerous. How do you trust the god & goddess for security, and even then cant things (spirits, energy, positive or neg) attach or open doors for them to enter? In my "old " religion we prayed worshiped and yet I still had negative spirits in our house and life..how does these gods & goddess differ?
3. My biggest question is how you become wiccan and or work with the craft without human nature and greed coming into play? It seems that a lot of people will cast for personal intent and or others (with out their knowledge) and to me that inst great intent sometimes. I do cleansing and cast energy circles for protection in my house..however my husband (even if he doesnt agree with all I have studied) understands and has felt the change.
I am a pretty sensible person..and have study many religions..I am asking these question because of other knowledge. I am sure there will be more question to come but I think this is a great start!
