I assume you have already taken a look at a bilingual dictionary such as WordReference. The problem with struggle is that it doesn't coincide exactly with any of its Spanish translations. In your examples one can distinguish several core meanings:
- The meaning of fighting, battling, engaging in some kind of militant effort. This can be translated with the Spanish lucha (f.) or luchar.
- "We're part of the struggle" = Somos parte de la lucha
- "The struggle is real" = La lucha es real
- "We're part of the struggle" = Somos parte de la lucha
- The meaning of striving against difficulties, so far unsuccessfully. This one can be translated with luchar but also with costar or some periphrasis involving the idea of difficulty:
- "I'm struggling to make ends meet" = Estoy luchando por llegar a fin de mes (lit. "struggling to come to the last day of the month", i.e. "struggling to keep some money until next payday"); or else
- "I'm struggling to make ends meet" = Me está costando llegar a fin de mes
- "I'm struggling financially" = Estoy teniendo dificultades financieras; or maybe
- "I'm struggling financially" = Estoy complicado financieramente
Note the particular grammar pattern of costar, similar to that of gustar:
- "I struggle to do X" = Me cuesta hacer X
- "X is a real struggle" = X me cuesta mucho

That's a very thorough explanation, quite a mouthful, I've been asked what the translation struggle is several times, but judging y you explanation, I think it all comes down to context.
