To simplify point 1 of Frank's post:
Upgrade the software (your head) before you upgrade your hardware.
Set aside $10 a week...or instead of buying 2 boxes of ammo, buy 1 and put the other $20 away until you have enough for some kind of training. Where I live I got 15 hours of defensive handgun instruction (over 3 days) for $150. We went through a few hundred rounds over that time. Every aspect of my shooting got better as a result of that training.
The three hundred rounds I fired during those 15 hours were more beneficial than the 2000 rounds I fired before that. There is no substitute for professional instruction. Save up for it, you won't be disappointed.
