I think I figured out what the errors is my code were, but it isn't working?

I have managed to get the correct answer but I get an error saying it is incorrect.

Thank you in advance for the help. :)

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.");
}

Hi Val, code looks good except for one comparison. Take a look at the code where you use '||'. The alert must only run when you have less than 10 money AND today equals to friday ;).
