With barely enough to live on (4-2-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hand-to-mouth

(Other definitions for hand-to-mouth that I've seen before include "With barely enough to exist" , "Just adequate (subsistence)" , "Precarious (existence)" , "Providing only bare essentials" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
