Confused!

Confused about this one. It is generating the correct message but my code is wrong? Help please!

Thanks!

script.js 
var money = 8;
var today = 'Friday';

if ( money >= 100 || today === 'Tuesday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");    
} else if ( money >= 50 || today === 'Weds' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie and dinner");    
} else if ( money > 10 || today === 'Thursday' ) {
  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.");
}

My first thought is that you don't have a condition for money for the "firday" else if block.

You're also doing the wrong checks with the wrong operator. What I mean by this is for each block you want to check if both conditions are true, not just the one of them,

Good luck!
