What would I want to put as code inside of the if statement? Hasn't the stats.Value been set to the saved value?

You don't have to put anything inside, the pcall does it already, you can print or send a message to the player if you want but that's all

You're creating a new function every save. Use pcall(moneyDataStore.GetAsync, moneyDataStore, scope) to avoid this.

Normally you just wrap your function inside a pcall statement, make sure to check the wiki: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Global_namespace/Basic_functions#pcall
