What error / problems are you experiencing?

ServerScriptService.SugarRebirthsLeaderstatsSave:24: attempt to index nil with 'cash'

It could be because it is a new datastore, the player might not have any stats given and since you are using save = nil, the script can't find anything in a nil. You also do not need to redefined save in when getting the save from datastore since you already defined it previously. I explained very badly but hope you understand.. haha

I played the game 7 times and it did not save

No errors? If so, it might be because the server did not have enough time to run the code before the game shuts down.
