Your last else if doesn't need to check for amount of money since the one prior checked to see if you had more than $10 - anything less than that is considered not enough money to go out. You'll want to change your condition to check to see if it is Friday since the message you want to print out is "It's Friday but I don't have enough money to go out." For that to be a true statement, today will have to equal Friday.

else if (today === 'Friday') {
  alert("It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out");
}
