To live on the edge is a very similar way to say the same thing.

Then to live precariously and vivir precariamente are false cognates.

Anyway, maybe it's more common and easy to pronounce en precario, which means the same as precariamente. Estamos en precario, if you are a shop seller and your goods are gone.

So estar en precario would be to be broke or to be hard up, or something along those lines.
