What are the ways to say "endure austerity"?


How can we say "endure austerity" in both formal and informal situations?

For example, how can we say:

  * "The people of Greece are currently enduring austerities."
  * "If you have to endure such austerities to afford a house, you are probably not ready to buy a house." (In this case the meaning of "austerity" is probably less extreme than in the above example.)
  * "The Buddha discovered that enduring austerity is not the path to enlightenment."
