TITLE: Recently Laid-Off, 23, Getting Married; Roth IRA? + General Financial Advice [LA]
POST: In December I was laid off but had only been working with the company for 2 months (before that I was a waitress). I am pretty sure my earnings for 2015 will be below the threshold and I will be getting all of my taxes back (~$1000). 

I have not had great luck in finding a full time job in my field so I will most likely be working p/t until May when I am getting married abroad. I am hoping to line up a full time position for once I return back in July. 

All of our expenses are currently being covered by my fiancé who is a phd student (and guaranteed funding for 4 more years at least). We have $775 in rent each month and a $194 car payment (1% financing fee, about $500 over the life of the loan). We are also able to save $100 each month from his income. He is paid throughout the year and will not receive payments during the summer months (June, July, & August). 

Should I consider adding my tax refund to a Roth IRA? What should I do to make this situation as positive as I can? Help!
TL;DR: 
I was recently laid off and am now working p/t. What should I be doing to maximize our financial situation between now and May when we get married?
