By "we" do you mean your family, your city, your nation, Europe, your continent, your terrestrial hemisphere, the whole planet, the solar system, or what else? 🤣
As for me, I already live in an austere way:

I just mean for the so-called first world. There is too much consumption.

Of course, austerity measures mostly affect the ones who consume the least to begin with, so its not a solution anyway, its mostly a joke in that regard

I fully agree. 😉 When sacrifices are required, it is always the lower class who lose out. 😑

About austerity? Just accepting it. You already know how I feel about it. You have to see the positive side of things. It will be a good exercise in patience, discipline, simplicity, humility. To appreciate what really matters.

I know and I agree, but I was thinking more about how there are lower and upper classes.

To answer it would take a whole book and a lot of patience....😁
To simplify let us say that ambition drives some to enrich themselves, seek power and lead others; necessity and humility drives others to obey, submit and settle for security and protection: I am among those. 😑

Greed leads some to exploit. Propaganda, state controlled mass media, drugs, manufactured division keep others in their place.

Why do we live in a world like this? What is the point?
