nice translation NHHN but i don't understand why didn't you write everything in past tense.? The whole paragraph is a statement which was said in the past by Mr.Gia.

It's not wealth one asks for, but just enough to preserve one's dignity, to work unhampered,to be generous, to be independent

The problem Mr Gia said is not only need in the past, but also in present and future.

I beg to differ with you! WHile it's true that you can use present tense to write about past events to make your report more lively, you can't mix past tense with present tense for a same statement in your writing unless there are some direct reporting forms in the statement or else it will be not cohesive and confusing.It is subjective to say that what Mr. Gia stated in his speech  is not only needed in the past but also presence . It's you who believe these things are facts but what about other readers.? If he had said something like this "the sun always rise in the East" ,then the statement is not subjective!  
Your translation would have been better if you'd conjugated the whole statement in past or present tense.
Any objection?
