I'm guessing you're concerned that the text is not bold? <th> by default is bold because it is supposed to be the head of a column or row - meaning the label of the data that will be provided in the corresponding cells. <td> elements would be those corresponding cells.

So "Month" and "Savings" would be your heads, and the rest would be your actual data.
