My interpretation of your post is that you are working approximately 40 hours a week for a single client, but don't have any of the perks of being a full time employee.
Since your employment can terminate without notice, you need to do the following.
One put 6 months living expenses in the bank. Remember that the extra money that you get weekly has to also cover benefits that an employee gets and are hidden.
Two, start finding a second client that requires only 4 to 10 hours per week. In the long term, you need to set your hourly rate at approximately two and half times what you think a reasonable salary would be.
Three, check the income tax act and sales tax acts to see what requirements, obligations and allowances you may have/incur.
Four, consider developing a product, its the only way you can leverage your hours.

XML::RSS::Headline::PerlJobs(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			 XML::RSS::Headline::PerlJobs(3pm)

NAME

       XML::RSS::Headline::PerlJobs - XML::RSS::Headline Example Subclass

VERSION

       2.2

SYNOPSIS

       You can also subclass XML::RSS::Headline to provide a 'multiline' RSS headline based on additional information inside the RSS Feed.  Here
       is an example for the Perl Jobs (jobs.perl.org) RSS feed by simply passing in the "hlobj" class name.

	   use XML::RSS::Feed;
	   use XML::RSS::Headline::PerlJobs;
	   use LWP::Simple qw(get);

	   my $feed = XML::RSS::Feed->new(
	       name  => "perljobs",
	       url   => "http://jobs.perl.org/rss/standard.rss",
	       hlobj => "XML::RSS::Headline::PerlJobs",
	   );

	   while(1) {
	       $feed->parse(get($feed->url));
	       print $_->headline . "
" for $feed->late_breaking_news;
	       sleep($feed->delay);
	   }

       Here is the output from rssbot on irc.perl.org in channel #news (which uses these modules)

	   <rssbot>  + Part Time Perl
	   <rssbot>    Brian Koontz - United States, TX, Dallas
	   <rssbot>    Part time, Independent contractor (project-based)
	   <rssbot>    http://jobs.perl.org/job/950

MUTAITED METHOD

       $headline->item( $item )

       Init the object for a parsed RSS item returned by XML::RSS.
