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.

NumberFormatter::setSymbol - Set a symbol value

	Object oriented style

SYNOPSIS

       public bool NumberFormatter::setSymbol (int  $attr, string  $value)

DESCRIPTION

	Procedural style
       bool numfmt_set_symbol (NumberFormatter	$fmt, int  $attr, string  $value)

	Set  a	symbol associated with the formatter. The formatter uses symbols to represent the special locale-dependent characters in a number,
       for example the percent sign. This API is not supported for rule-based formatters.

PARAMETERS

	      o $fmt
		-NumberFormatter object.

	      o $attr
		- Symbol specifier, one of the	format symbol constants.

	      o $value
		- Text for the symbol.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      numfmt_set_symbol(3) example

	      <?php
	      $fmt = numfmt_create( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
	      echo "Sep: ".numfmt_get_symbol($fmt, NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."
";
	      echo numfmt_format($fmt, 1234567.891234567890000)."
";
	      numfmt_set_symbol($fmt, NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL, "*");
	      echo "Sep: ".numfmt_get_symbol($fmt, NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."
";
	      echo numfmt_format($fmt, 1234567.891234567890000)."
";
	      ?>

       Example #2

	      OO example

	      <?php
	      $fmt = new NumberFormatter( 'de_DE', NumberFormatter::DECIMAL );
	      echo "Sep: ".$fmt->getSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."
";
	      echo $fmt->format(1234567.891234567890000)."
";
	      $fmt->setSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL, "*");
	      echo "Sep: ".$fmt->getSymbol(NumberFormatter::GROUPING_SEPARATOR_SYMBOL)."
";
	      echo $fmt->format(1234567.891234567890000)."
";
	      ?>

       The above example will output:

       Sep: .
       1.234.567,891
       Sep: *
       1*234*567,891
