Katsu Katsu (かつかつ)

Now I am falling into a state called "katsu katsu" (かつかつ).

"Katsu katsu" represents a state that someone is barely keeping a certain condition, or a state that someone can't afford anything.

It is said that this term was born by repeating the old Japanese word "katsu" (かつ), which means "narrowly" or "barely."

You can use it something like "Schedule ga katsu katsu da" (スケジュールがかつかつだ - I have a tight schedule) or "Katsu katsu no seikatsu wo okuru" (かつかつの生活を送る - I'm living hand to mouth).

If you want to mean the opposite meaning of "katsu katsu," you can use "yoyu ga aru" (余裕がある - having the luxury) or "yutori ga aru" (ゆとりがある - having enough leeway).
