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.
ジリ貧

私は「ジリ貧」の状態にあると言えます。

「ジリ貧」は「ジリジリと貧しくなる」を略した語であるとされています。

「ジリジリ」は何かがゆっくりと少しずつ進むまたは引くさまを表す擬態語、「貧しく/貧しい」は "poor"、「なる」は "to become" を意味します。

したがって、「ジリ貧」は文字どおりの意味は "to become gradually poor" となります。

また、「ジリ貧」は文字どおりの意味に加え、「少しずつ状況が悪くなる」ことを表す際にも使うことができます。
