*[SOLVED]* Why am I getting the correct answer, but the challenge won't let me continue?

I am getting the alert that says, "It's Friday but I don't have enough money to go out" but the challenge won't let me continue and keeps saying "Bummer! Hmmm. Looks like you're getting the wrong alert message." (or something along those lines)

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.");
}

Never mind. It was because I so stupidly thought to correct the grammar of the alert and added a '.' to the statement. Never again!

Kudos for solving your own problem! Yes, the challenges can be very strict especially regarding strings, it seems. Good luck in your future challenges! :sparkles:

P.S. You should probably edit the title of this question to include [SOLVED] :thumbsup:
