It might be possible for you to get self-employment visa. That would allow you to take some time off and get back to work on better monetary terms later in the year - the work is the same but it's better when you're getting more money for it. I'm a citizen but that's how I work - 3 months of work and 3-6 months off. There are enough staffing companies looking for contractors in the EU, and not enough programmers.
