What's wrong in this?

It would be great if someone could help me out with this challenge.

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' && money < 10 ) {
  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.");
}

When testing for 2 conditions that both need to be true, you need to use the 'and' operator &&. Such as, "do I have more than $10 AND is today Friday"? Which you do correctly on the last elseif statement. If you change the 3 'or' operators II to && it should work.

You're really close! Check the 'or' operators in the code and think if those are the right type of operators for what we are trying to do.

Also, with the way the code is above, what would happen if it was Friday AND 'money' were equal to exactly 10?

Hope that helps! please respond if you are still having trouble with it,

Check the operator in the conditional statements. When testing two conditions and both need to be true use the && operator.
