i dont get this?

Something's wrong with this script. The value in the variable money is only 9. But if you preview this script you'll see the "Time to go to the theater" message. Fix this script so that it correctly tests the money and today variables and prints out the proper alert message: "It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out"

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 ( 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.");
}

Have you tried using && and === instead of || and !== ?
