          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:




          1. 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



          2. 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.

          • @PacoLopez - So true! // Short answer: for the most part it boils down to two cases: (1) some organized movement --> luchar / lucha and (2) some personal situation --> me está costando trabajo ... / se me está dificultando ... [pagar la renta].
