The answer varies according to the source relied on. Paul's epistles and, originally, Mark's Gospel assume that Jesus' resurrection and ascension were the same event. Luke's Gospel says that Jesus ascended to heaven on the evening of his resurrection, while Acts of the Apostles, although by the same author as Luke's Gospel, says that he remained on earth for forty days. Matthew and John do not talk of an ascension, but show the risen Jesus remaining on earth for at least a few days:
In Paul's epistles, Jesus' ascent to heaven was synonymous with his resurrection. Paul seems to have believed that all of the appearances to Cephas, the twelve, the 500, then James and the apostles were as spiritual as the appearance he experienced.
In Mark's Gospel, originally the ascent of Jesus must have also been synonymous with his resurrection. This Gospel originally ended at verse 16:8, without the appearances of the risen Jesus that we now see in the "Long Ending".
Matthew's Gospel does not actually say whether Jesus ascended into heaven, but if he did it would have been after his only meeting with the disciples, at the mountain in Galilee. This could not have been until quite a few days after the resurrection, given the distance from Jerusalem.
Luke's Gospel gives a graphic account of Jesus ascending bodily into heaven near Bethany, not far from Jerusalem. This occurred on the evening following the resurrection.
Acts of the Apostles, although written by the same author, records that Jesus remained on earth for forty days and was then taken up. Presumably the author received further information between the time of writing the Gospel and writing Acts.
John's Gospel does not actually say whether Jesus ascended into heaven, but if he did it would have been after his final meeting with the disciples, at the Sea of Galilee. This could not have been until quite a few days after the resurrection, given the distance from Jerusalem and the several meetings with the disciples.
ANSWERI am assuming you mean 'how many days (after His death).40 days.
Act 1:3 For forty days after his death he appeared to them many times in ways that proved beyond doubt that he was alive. They saw him, and he talked with them about the Kingdom of God.
Act 1:9 After saying this, he was taken up to heaven as they watched him, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

Jesus did not worry, in fact he is recorded in the book of Luke (Chapter nine) instructing his disciples not to worry.He did however experience dread, he dreaded the cross as any person would, he even pleaded to God the father: "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." (Luke 22:42) wishing to not take the cross but enduring it for the joy set before him. That joy spoken of is the ability to spend eternity with you and me in heaven.

You say that Jesus talked more about money then heaven and hell combined could you give me Biblical references attesting to this?
This is correct. The gospel says more about how you spend your money than on heaven and hell. The gospel is more about how you must live NOW, than what is in the future. How did Jesus say to spend your money? Spend it on the poor, the weak, the needy, your enemies. Zacchaeus sold everything he had and gave the money to the poor and what was Jesus' reply? "Salvation has come to this house". Something to think about while sitting in the church building that is worth $20 million...

It is your own opinion, but personally in my opinion it does not. It will help them be saved when Jesus comes back to judge the whole world. Bible classes in school, help people turn to Jesus so that when they die, they'll be able to spend all eternity in heaven with God and Jesus.
