What is the net worth cut off for being "saved"?

It was pointed out in a previous question that no one who could amass 2 billion dollars could be "saved". What, then, is the net worth one may have while being "saved"? And is it adjusted for inflation?

Or is one only unable to be saved if one has more money than the person petulantly chanting "you're not saved"?

    The things that truly matter in life don't have a "net worth".

    Sadly, our society often misses the bigger things in life because they are focused on material things.

    When you die, you can't take your riches with you - so eternally, what worth is it? Not much.

    Your money is only as good as what you do with it - if you hoard it, it's no good. If you waste it, it's no good. If you use to to help others, to do good deeds, and spend wisely, your money will be worth something that lasts longer than you do. :)

    That said, you can't buy salvation - and you can't earn it. It is a free gift of grace and love from God the Father who loves you. That is a gift of infinite and uncomparable worth. All you need to do is accept it - along with the grace, love, and forgiveness from the Lord God.

    You can only take as much money with you into heaven as will fit through the eye of a needle.

    Obviously net worth has nothing to do with one's spiritual state.

    Whoever told you that is an idiot. There is no magical cut off point, obviously. God judges your heart, not your bank book.

    I thought it was the other way around. The more you sin, the more it costs.

    income has no bearing on whether you are saved.
