} else if ( money >= 50 && today === 'Friday' ) { alert("Time for a movie and dinner");
} else if ( money > 10 && today === 'Friday' ) { alert("Time for a movie");

Hi Anthony! You got the first part of the challenge, changing the 'or' operators into 'and' operators, but they are checking for one more thing in this line.

else if ( today !== 'Friday' && money <= 10 ) { 
  // do stuff
 }

Your program gets to this line and reads "else if, today is NOT Friday and also if money is less than or equal to 10". You want this to check out as true because today is Friday. If you change the 'not' operator to an 'equal to' operator, it should work out okay!

Hope this answers your question, have a great day!
