I am getting the result of the question but It's not letting me pass?

I am trying to pass this Challenge but it will not let me. I am getting the right alert box but still isn't passing. Any Idea's? Thanks

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 < 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.");

Even if your code works, the Treehouse code challenges will usually only accept an answer that is formatted exactly as it expects it to be.

Your code here,

} else if ( money < 10 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out"); 
}

should actually be written as:

} else if ( today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out"); 
}

Your code is completely correct; this is just a side effect of how the code challenge must parse through your code.
