You are not supposed to change the values of the variables. What you need to do is look at the conditional statements. Let's look at the first part of your if statement:

if ( money >= 100 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");    
}

If you have 100 or more money OR today is friday, it will alert "Time to go to the theater". Since today is friday, this statement will always be true, no matter what amount of money you have. Because this condition is true, the code block will be executed, and the rest of the statement will not be executed. What you need to do is to check if both conditions are true. You can do this by using the && operator, to make sure both conditions are true.
