How do i get this to show "Its friday but i dont have enough money to go out"?

I keep changing the final else if to say if money is less than or equal too.. but no luck, i keep receiving the same message

script.js 
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 ( money > 9 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  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.");
}

I believe your first if condition is returning true because you have used the OR operator. Therefore today = Friday is true.

Also > 9 is not 9 so I added an equals. See below.

var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday';

if (money >= 100 && today === 'Friday') {
  alert("ddddd");    
} 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 ( money >= 9 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  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.");
}

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 ( money < 10 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  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.");

I would do it like this, or money <= 9, to not get an error if money < 9.

What David said about the && and || operators are quite important :) Good luck with all!
