IMHO the key to happiness as an independent is to minimize your fixed expenses to the point where you're not at all worried about cashflow. If it's a busy month, great. You can sock away some extra cash. If it's a slow month, awesome. Go camping, go skiing, spend time with your family. Keep some irons in the fire, and work will surface again.
Seems like an excellent work/life balance to me.
