There was a time in my life, when a friend of mine asked me if the end should justify the means. It was a very long time ago, and I had no answer to that question. Personally I grew up taught to not accept that the end justifies the means, but in my adult years, I think I can make an exception to some cases having been in such a position myself. There are times when the opportunity presents itself, and when you look at it, it's not as though you're hurting anyone so why not take the opportunity. Note that the opportunity wasn't taken because you are a bad person, but because it either looked like the only way, or would save you a lot of things while not affecting others. This knowledge has taught me not to judge people's actions without knowing their intentions as I have seen bad people do good things with evil intentions.
