it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man (or woman) to get into Heaven...

Don't forget the ending.

"Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, "Who then can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

Exactly. No where in the Bible does it say that when you become a Christian, your earthly problems are solved. In fact, Jesus always tried to thin the herd- telling them if they didn’t forsake all they weren’t fit to be His disciples, or if you build a tower you count the costs before hand, or when He said you must consume His flesh and drink His blood— these things were offensive back then, and offensive to us today. I would argue that when you become a Christian, that’s when your troubles start. God wants us to be prepared for this. These snake-oil salesmen who wear alligator boots and have tote boards telling you how many millions more God needs are just comical.
