Jirihin
I could say that I am in a situation described with the term jirihin (ジリ貧).
Jirihin is short for jiri jiri to mazushiku naru (ジリジリと貧しくなる).
Jiri jiri (ジリジリ) is an onomatopoeic word representing something moving slowly and gradually forward or backward, mazushiku/mazushī (貧しく/貧しい) means "poor," and naru (なる) means "to become."
Therefore, the literal meaning of jiri hin is "to become gradually poor."
In addition to its literal meaning, jiri hin can also be used to describe that the situation is gradually getting worse.
