Doing it tough financially (4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hard up

(Other definitions for hard up that I've seen before include "Panto Baron; needy" , "It's not easy to be in straitened circumstances" , "Short of cash" , "Having little money, almost skint" , "Strapped for cash, it's tough" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
