That's a very open ended question... How much extra money do you need to make to start saving? I suggest split it into two problems and start solving them both.
1. Start Saving now, regardless of how much you're making. How you might ask? -- Spend less. Don't buy luxury items on credit. Don't take out credit unless you absolutely have to. Example: You want to buy wonderfull gifts for loved ones, but don't have enogh money -- don't borrow. Get something simple, and explain to the loved ones that you couldn't afford big gifts this year. The trully loved ones will understand, others don't deserve the gifts in the first place.
Act like that with everything. Once you stop borrowing, you stop paying interest, you stop paying interest you already have more money.
Determine what you want to save and put the money in savings first, before you bring it home, and learn to live without this money, no matter what pay yourself first and forget about this money...
Now that you've mastered how to save, try to resolve how to make extra:
See what is it that you can do, and do it. Get a second job, or go to school and try to get better education. If you are already educated ad have a good job, send out resume after the holidays and see what kind of response you're getting. Don't send 1000 resumes at once. Send a few and see if you hear back from people, if not review your resume or have someone else look at it.
Anyway, the answer to your question is: If you really want to to do something with your money situation -- DO IT. Don't just sit around asking a retorical question and hope that someone will teach you a miracle.
I hope this answer will help. Sorry no magic bullets.

To make extra money you can invest, for example open an IRA account, or a CD(Certificate Deposit)
Make a budget, so you know if you spend your money wisely or not. What did you spend it on, (important or not)
Take public transportation( you can save money on car insurance, gas, parking, towing fees, maintenance,etc)
Make a shopping list,when you go shopping and stick to it.
Don't go shopping when you are hungry, if you do, chances are you are going to spend more money than planned.
Cook at home, instead of going to restaurant.
You don't have to have a credit card, if you think it's not necessary. Credit card debt is a big problem, especially for teenagers, because they are tempted to spend more and more money.
