It is a good thing we are not required to buy our way into Heaven. We would not be able to pay the price. No one, even the richest of us, has enough money for that.
In fact the price, though so very high, has already been paid. Our Lord paid that price by His death on the cross. He was the only one who could pay that price. He was the only sinless one, and only one who is sinless could die for the sins of others.
It is also good that we are not required to live perfect lives to enter Heaven. We are not perfect. Neither do we have to perform good deeds. We want to live for Him, but our salvation is by grace rather than works.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 (JKV)
