Here are the 5 questions mentioned in the video:
1.如果给你5000元，你更愿意怎么花？
If someone gave you 5,000 yuan, how would you rather spend it?
2.你觉得买“体验”和买“实物”，哪个带来的快乐更持久？
Which do you think brings more lasting happiness: buying experiences or buying material goods?
3.买完一个比较贵的东西（比如手机、包）三个月后，你的感受通常是？
Three months after buying something relatively expensive, like a phone or a bag, how do you usually feel?
4.参加完一次旅行或课程三个月后，你的感受通常是？
Three months after finishing a trip or a course, how do you usually feel?
5.有人说：“买体验带来的快乐，在‘期待’的时候就已经开始了；买实物的快乐，主要在‘拥有’的那一刻。”你同意吗？
Some people say: "The happiness from buying an experience begins as soon as you start looking forward to it; the happiness from buying a material thing is mainly felt at the moment you own it." Do you agree?
