Learn about how we make money

Dear Steve,

Yo, I'm a 15 year old teenager, I'm a high school student and I have a lot of free time after school and on the weekends. I'm trying to save up some money for a car and I don't want to get a job because I don't want to spend all my free time working.

I'm looking for ways to make money on the side, something that I can do on my own schedule. Can you give me some ideas of side hustles that I can start doing right now?

Dear Future Entrepreneur,
