I got the correct message in preview. but it's still saying something is wrong.
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 < 9 || 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.");
}

It looks like you have to remove all of the OR operators and replace them with AND (&&) operators. You've done that for the first 3 conditional checks okay, but the last one still has an OR (||) operator. If you replace it with && it should pass, but you can also just remove the first check (money < 9) and leave it as today === 'Friday' and it will still pass.
Hope this helps!

12,964 PointsDid it work when you changed it to money < 9 && today === 'Friday'?

12,964 PointsI'm a bit confused because I tried to change the last "else if" statement to: money < 9 && today === 'Friday' and it didn't pass. It's passing if I change it to: today === 'Friday' It's also passing if I change it to: money === 9 && today === 'Friday', which shouldn't.
