English term or phrase: even out the bumps
When you work as a freelancer, one thing is certain. No matter how carefully you plan or how many clients you land, your income will still be unpredictable. This unpredictability of income is one of the hardest things for freelance workers to adapt to, especially if they are the main breadwinner in the family.

There is not a lot you can do to even out the bumps in your freelance income, but there is plenty you can do to adapt. One of the most critical things freelancers can do is set up an emergency reserve fund and keep it stocked with at least six months worth of living expenses.
