Something's wrong with this script."It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out".

Can anyone help? The outcome of this Task came out as what asked when preview.but I don' understand what is the problem.

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.");
}

The following evaluates to true because both values are truthy Note: In using OR only one value needs to evaluate to true. 

} else if ( today || 'Friday' ) {

But it doesn't correctly evaluate if today is 'Friday'. For that you will need a comparison operator
