I'm a poor college student, somehow managing to save ~$100/month and I have ~$500 in savings. I want to invest my money and continue doing so in the future. Thinking about setting up a Roth IRA, but need guidance and others' opinions. Any advice or insights?

I make roughly $800 monthly as a line cook, including tips which ads up to around $1,100 monthly. I am quite frugal but don't have much left over after rent and bills, but I am managing to save about $100 per month.
