This one you just have to correct the coding that they have given. Remember that the double bars mean "or", so your statement (and all other statements in this challenge) are stating that only one of the two conditions must be met in order for the challenge to pass. Yet, the challenge is to have the statements pass if both conditions are satisfied.

You have an 'else' with an 'else if' afterwards, that can't be executed. 'else' should always come after an 'else if'. :)

I have re-written the code this way,,,,it has to pop up "It's Friday but I don't have enough money to go out" var money = 9; var today = 'Friday'

if ( money >= 100 || today === 'Friday' ) { alert("Time to go to the theater");
} else if ( money >= 50 || today === 'Friday' ) { alert("Time for a movie and dinner");
} else if ( money > 10 || today === 'Friday' ) { alert("Time for a movie");
} else if ( today !== 'Friday'|| money === 9 ) { alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");
} else { alert("This isn't Friday. I need to stay home."); }

} else if ( money >= 50 || today === 'Friday' ) {

} else if ( money > 10 || today === 'Friday' ) {

You need to change the double bars (||) to double ampersands (&&). Your wanting to say that both conditions must be met in order for the alert to occur.
