Once you have some savings in the bank, it is a lot less stressful. For me then, a time without contracts is not a loss. I have enough other things to do, like working on my own projects that hopefully will eventually get me out of the consulting circle for good.

But there is also more incentive to go to technology meetups and networking events.
