Answer by Rebecca of Faraway Farm
from the Apocrypha — Wisdom of Sirach / ben Sira

11:18 = One become rich through diligence and self-denial, and the reward allotted to him brings lasting success

NRSV includes this intertestamental section of the biblical books (accepted as deuterocanonical by R. Catholics, the Orthodox, and Church of England among others)

Answer by Sara
while it is good to work hard and save your money. God never promised us to be rich. He told the rich young ruler that he should give all his money away and come follow him and he would teach him many things. He did not say then he would make him rich.

Matthew 25:31 “When the Son of man arrives in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit down on his glorious throne. 32 And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another, just as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 And he will put the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left.

34 “Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, YOU who have been blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for YOU from the founding of the world. 35 For I became hungry and YOU gave me something to eat; I got thirsty and YOU gave me something to drink. I was a stranger and YOU received me hospitably; 36 naked, and YOU clothed me. I fell sick and YOU looked after me. I was in prison and YOU came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous ones will answer him with the words, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty, and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and receive you hospitably, or naked, and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to you?’ 40 And in reply the king will say to them, ‘Truly I say to YOU, To the extent that YOU did it to one of the least of these my brothers, YOU did it to me.’
