I've been in a similar situation.

Go be an employee at a startup that's a real business. A real business is a business that's established enough to pay you a fair salary and benefits.

It should be a job that you enjoy, and similar enough to what you're working on now that you can apply your experience. The people in charge should be businessmen who understand that cash needs to flow in order for this to be a real business.

At this point, you've worked with clowns long enough to know how to weed them out. During your job search, a lot of clowns will try to justify not paying you a decent salary. You've already been there, and know that a business that can't pay you isn't a real business.
