how to Fix this script so that it correctly tests the money and today variables and prints out the proper alert message?

I'm confused its saying its wrong but I believe I followed everything.

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' ) {
  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 you try this code, the challenge tells you "Bummer! Hmm. Looks like the conditional statement is reaching the else clause. Check the final else if clause"

The last message starts with "It's Friday...", but the if clause is "`today !== 'Friday'". Those don't quite go together.
