They made reservations at restaurants where the cost of a bottle of wine ____48____ a college year’s monthly rent. They replaced their beloved old cars with expensive new sports cars.
The thing is, a number of them have ____49____ that despite their success, they aren’t happy. Some ____50____ of unfriendly coworkers and feel sad for eight-hour workweeks devoted to tasks they hated. Some do not respect the companies they work for and talk of feeling tired and ____51____.

They have loans, bills, a mortgage to ____56____, retirement to save for. They recognize there’s something ____57____ in their lives, but it’s hard to step off the track.
In a society that tends to ____58____ everything in terms of dollars and cents, we learn from a young age to consider the costs of our ____59____ in financial terms.
