Seeing that there is a huge age difference, income may be correlating to age rather than IQ.
Not necessarily. Most well-educated and high IQ people tend to be either unemployed "artists" or very comfortable but not necessarily wealthy research academics.
Earnings are highly correlated to IQ and education, so we can infer that the more educated and intelligent you are the more you are likely to disagree with the statements.

Or perhaps the more you are enjoying this life the less likely you are to be welcoming the next.
MATTHEW 19:23 Jesus said to his disciples, "Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.
24 Again I tell you, 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."
Education and intelligent have little to do with spirituality. The more educated the more money you have, the less likely you are to think you need God.
Stereotypic assumptions and straw dogs such as the IQ nonsense are
distasteful AT BEST.
I've met many a "hay seed" who was smarter than many a PhD I've known amongst my colleagues.
Personally, I tend to correlate haughty arrogance with low IQ whether the IQ is measured by the standard tests, or not. Given God's standard as the absolute maximized "IQ" and HIS PRIORITIES re humility vs arrogance and haughtiness . . . I consider it more than a little dumb to haughtily, arrogantly, snootily dismiss folks
who
take His Word at face value and trust Him to have said what He meant and meant what He said.
While there is a factual correlation between income disparities and level of education, you are standing upon very shaky ground. There is a much higher correlation between income disparities and overall spirituality - due to the perception of personal safety, which is born of accumulated wealth. People who live fundamentally insulated from personal difficulty are prone to thinking themselves above it all, and exempt from potential disasters.
Moreover, the racially and ethnically downtrodden are more prone to noticing very slight changes in their environment - which might signal impending danger. Consider the instance of animals living in the wild, seldom are the surprised by: Earthquakes, Mudslides, Flash Floods, Forrest Fires, or other Natural Disasters. That is because they must live merely by their intuition and wits. Whereas, humans die all the time in these very same events, since they wait far too long to respond - believing that they are so much more intelligent.
More importantly, the scriptures predicted that: “In The Last Days mockers would come...” just as they predicted: “Knowledge would greatly increase,” “Two World Wars,” “The return of Israel to its ancestral homeland,” “Two Rumored Wars,” “A Worldwide Financial/Currency Collapse,” “International calls for Peace and Safety,” “The rise of a One World Government,” “Renewed religious persecutions,” and “Sudden destruction for that New World Order shortly after its factual inception.”
So far, it seems to be right on track. Perhaps, an educated man - such as yourself - might look it up? Mathew 24 and Revelation 6 will be helpful.
