Jesus said " For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.". Do you feel secure in your own power to live this life and the one after the death of your physical body. Jesus predicted accurately that you type of people would find it very hard to follow God into His kingdom. "Those who see no want see no need."

No, Wealth = Lack of Faith
How can you have faith that the lord will provide for you tomorrow when you hoard your riches while your neighbor is hungry.
The answer is NO there is no place in the kingdom of heaven for a rich man.

Your question is back to front, it should be "Are you to poor to understand". Believing in religion or God is a mental illness.
Religion is a serious mental illness. It’s the inability to face the reality of life and the finality of death. It affects 85% of the USA and 75% of US victims are Christians. The more pathetic and desperate a persons life, the more likely they are to believe in a god. People with otherwise empty lives, are the strongest believers. It gives them false hope that there’s a higher meaning to their sad and pathetic lives.
It’s a statistical fact that the higher your education, income, and intelligence, the more likely you are not to believe in a god. For every college student that converts to a religious belief system, 17 college students convert to atheist beliefs. Atheists have an average intelligence of 25 IQ points above their Christian counterparts.

I don't want to be confused with a Bible follower, but I do know that the "eye of a needle" referred to the passage between two steep mountains. Difficult, not impossible, to get through. I actually like that one.

Most Christians chose to ignore this verse. Not many Christians willing to give up everything for the cause of God.

I am sure about this life. I can manage on my own pretty well, and at any rate, I can ask other humans for help. And after my death, there's nothing, so why care?

You can never be too wealthy for God. If you think you are then it's time to unload some of the wealth.
