Enjoy! Enjoy!
Is it alright to enjoy the pleasures of the world while others are suffering? YES! As long as you live your life morally. Telushkin suggests that we are advised to tithe precisely so that we can use the rest of our money for the things WE want and need. Without the principle of tithing, we might not enjoy anything - because others are suffering. Talmud suggests that is wrong to not partake in things which are not forbidden. In other words, don't say "No" only because others can't. If it isn't forbidden, and the opportunity presents itself - do it.
