<< How about: "You cannot serve both God and the Almighty Dollar"? >>
That seems to hit the nail on the head (assuming one wants such a
colloquial translation). Such a statement doesn't seem to be a typical
middle-class sentiment, does it?
Such colloquial translations can be lots of fun. For example:
<< Do not store up for yourself a portfolio in the stock market, where a
falling DOW or computer hackers can steal; but store up for yourselves a
portfolio in heaven, where neither a falling DOW nor computer hackers can
alter its value. For where your portfolio is, there your heart will be
also >> (Mt 6:19-21 [paraphrased]).

FWIW: I'm neither a clergy-person, nor an academic (and I have no post-grad
degrees).
