When i preview my code i get the correct response, but i keep getting the "bummer" response when i recheck work??

var money = 9; var today = 'Friday'

if ( money >= 100 || today === 'Thursday' ) { alert("Time to go to the theater");
} else if ( money >= 50 || today === 'Wednesday' ) { alert("Time for a movie and dinner");
} else if ( money > 10 || today === 'Tuesday' ) { alert("Time for a movie");
} else if ( money > 10 || 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."); }

script.js 
var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday'

if ( money >= 100 || today === 'Thursday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");    
} else if ( money >= 50 || today === 'Wednesday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie and dinner");    
} else if ( money > 10 || today === 'Tuesday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie");   
} else if ( money > 10 || 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 only things that needs to be changed in the challenge are

comparison operators i.e. ===, <=

and

logical operators i.e. ||, &&. 

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.");
}
