What worked for me was replacing the included finderscope with a red dot finder. Vastly easier! Cost around $60-70, worth every cent. Team that up with Google Skymap or Stellarium (free apps) and there's no end to the stuff you can see.
If light pollution is a big issue where you are, new eyepieces won't help much. More than that, any eyepieces that show a significant improvement over yours will likely cost more than your entire telescope. Learn how to use what you have, enjoy it as much as possible... and start saving up for the inevitable upgrade!
