Any other freelancers know these feels?

How do you handle the income roller coaster and feeling that your income has little to do with how much you're actually working?

I'm at a point in my life where I'd really like to have more financial stability so I could spend more of my income instead of having to always save money to prepare for the next 'draught', but I just hate the idea of kissing some boss's ass. I also here jobfags talking about shit like diversity training and tech companies that just makes me want to want to stay as far away from the 9-5 world as I can possibly get. That sort of thing just isn't me.
