It has no price ????

Hi,

I doubt that this translation from italian to English is correct. I need to translate as follows: "la propria libertá non ha prezzo" and if I translate word by word it would be: "My own freedom has no price" meaning that freedom is the most important thing.
The sentence that comes before is:

"Drinkin a beer, having my dog next to me...I can´t need more than this...my own freedom has no price"

Could you please help me with this?Could you correct it?

Thank you

Pamela

I'm inclined to agree with the previous posters.

My personal freedom is priceless.
My independence is priceless.

To make it less about you:

[Personal freedom / Independence] is priceless.

That said, I'd phrase it more like this:
