What are Yissurin?
Do you really feel you undergo Yissurin to learn Torah? (I am aware of the Gemorah).
And yes, if the SIL would take Yissurin, he would say “I will live on bread and water if need be”, not “G-d will help”.
That mindset is what you need if you want to be a real Talmud Chacham. Not Living it up in Yerushalayim, but out in Ofakim, renting a tiny apartment (as a family friend did).
