Severe financial hardship (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poverty

(Other definitions for poverty that I've seen before include "'When ....... comes in at the door, love flies out of the window'" , "Penury" , "Lack of money etc" , "Poor state" , "Indigence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
