Winter Hours Blues

Nothing too much to say in this journal other than that I'm mad about the economy.
I've had $250 saved up for getting a new graphics card, only for the very next month having to put it on a shelf until I'm sure that I can afford rent and bills until the end of winter. I know it's not a particularly novel situation, I'm just sick of always being on a financial treadmill.
To give an idea of what my money goes to: The rent bill each month is about $1871.50, our electrical bill is about $100 during the winter. Between my and my partner's jobs, my share of the rent is about $1450, give or take, plus the $100 electrical bill. If they've got me working 29 hours per week, I can barely make it, but that still only covers rent and utilities.
Right? Doesn't sound so bad? Like if I just pick up a couple shifts, if I just call to ask if I can clock in early, I should be able to make up for it. That's what I'm hoping for. Currently I'm scheduled most of January for 20 hours weeks, so fingers crossed I can get them to find that time for me. But man, it's just one thing after another.
