how can I change my local script to fit this datastore?

I'm pretty sure this is the problem. I made a datastore script that goes like this:

01local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
02local MyDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("myDataStore")
03 
04 
05game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
06 
07    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
08    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
09    leaderstats.Parent = player
10 
11    -- Display an 'IntValue' on leaderboard
12    local cash = Instance.new("IntValue")
13    cash.Name = "Cash"
14    cash.Parent = leaderstats
15 
16 
17 
18 
19 
20    local data
21    local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
22 
23         data = MyDataStore:GetAsync(player.UserId.."-cash") or 0
24    end)
25 
26 
27    if success then
28 
29        cash.Value = data
30    else
31            print("error")
32            warn(errormessage)
33    end
34end)

42    local success, errormessage = pcall(function()
43    MyDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId.."-cash",player.leaderstats.Cash.Value) 
44 
45    end)
46    if success then print("Data Saved")
47        else print("error")
48            warn("errormessage")

If I play my game on Roblox (not studio) I am able to save the value of cash if I type a command from HD admin.

`1`	`Change me Cash` `1000`

I leave the game and this is saved and remains when I come back. However, I have a localscript in StarterPlayerScripts that is:

1while true do
2 wait(10)
3game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Cash.Value = game.Players.LocalPlayer.leaderstats.Cash.Value + 10
4  end

The 1000 will go (ex.1040) and it won't save.
I can use the admin command to change the value to 1040 and it saves. What can I do to fix this?
