apretarse el cinturón 31
Tighten the belt more. It is said when there is a shortage of goods for subsistence and daily life or the means to obtain them, such as an allusion to losing weight by having to eat less. It is to make a drastic reduction in expenses, where "tightening" better expresses the idea than "adjusting".
