clutch/po420/Help!

just looking for a bit of help. cel came on this morning, plugged it in came up as po420 cat system below threshold. so I bought the car last year it has 75k on it now. when I bought it the guy said he already replaced the cat once not too long ago, so im kinda hoping it is not the cat. ive been reading on here but everyone has different answers, not too car savvy but from reading on here a lot of people are saying o2 sensor before the cat. But seeing as im broke as of now I don't wanna really go replacing things that aren't broken.
The other day when I tried to start my car my clutch pedal was stuck to the floor, instantly I panicked thinking my slave cylinder had gone but I pulled it up and haven't had a problem with the clutch since, still feels good and I checked the fluid level and its full. still scary though.
so as you can tell im not very car savvy and at the moment im strapped for cash considering I just got back to work last week (I have a seasonal job as irrigation tech). im just looking for any help that you guys could give me, it would be much appreciated.

Drop the cat off inspect it. Guy could just make up b.s about a new cat. If its messed up gut it until you save money for a mid pipe or oem cat. Check the clutch pedal assembly if it is cracked or coming apart.
