How to use shoestring in a sentence?

1. Bill Gross:

   But like (former Fed chairman Paul) Volcker recognized in 1979, the time has come for a new thesis that restores the savings function to developed economies that permit liability based business models to survive – if only on a shoestring – and that ultimately leads to rejuvenated private investment, which is the essence of a healthy economy, near term pain? Yes. Long term gain? Almost certainly. Get off zero now!

4. Dina Hackert:

5. Don Beyer:

It's fine in the short term, since Pete Buttigieg started out entirely shoestring and not having a finance base... but I also believe after a good second quarter, a good third quarter, then Pete Buttigieg will have to shift focus back to the early states.
