you can use DataStoreService to store it, first you have to get a DataStore passing a string to it, and to load you use GetAsync, and to set you use SetAsync

I recommend always using pcall for it, to error treatment in case of failure

local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local GameData = DataStoreService:GetDatatStore("GameData")

local DataContainer = {}

local function GetDefaultData()
  return {
    Money = 0,
    Level = 1,
    Exp = 0
  }
end

local function OnPlayerAdded(Player)
  local Success, Result = pcall(function()
    return GameData:GetAsync(Player.UserId)  
  end)

  if not Success then
    warn(`Error trying to load {Player.Name}'s data: {Result}`)
  end

  DataContainer[Player] = Result or GetDefaultData()
end

local function OnPlayerRemoving(Player)
  if not DataContianer[Player] then
    warn(`No data to save for {Player.Name}`)
    return 
  end
  local Success, Result = pcall(function()
    GameData:SetAsync(Player.UserId, DataContainer[Player])
  end)

  if not Success then
    warn(`Error trying to save {Player.Name}'s data: {Result}`)
  end
end

for _, Player in Players:GetPlayers() do OnPlayerAdded(Player) end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnPlayerAdded)
Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(OnPlayerRemoving)

just made it now, but you can use as a reference: GetAsync to get player's data using an ID (usually player's user id), and to set (save) the same thing: using an ID, and passing the data you want to save

for the error treatment, I recomend using some retries (3 or more), and a delay for it
