Luke 12:16-19

Then Jesus told them this parable. To show that riches are no protection. A rich man had land. No hint that this man was dishonest. He worked hard for what he had. What can I do? His riches were in the form of perishable foodstuffs. Where I will store the grain and all my other goods. Notice his intention to hoard his surplus, instead of using it for the good of others. Selfishness is the beginning of his foolishness. You have all the good things you need for many years. His second serious mistake is to forget that we are all transients in this life. Take life easy. His third error is ignore his spiritual needs. It is not his wealth which is wrong, but his attitude toward it, and what it symbolizes to him.
