Hmm ?

I fixed the variable "friday" with the ; I corrected the final else if with proper signage of >= 10.

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 ( 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.");
}

Hi there! The problem is in your very last else if statement. There should be no OR operators in your code anywhere. Currently, if we were to set the today variable to "Thursday", it would print out "It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out". But that's not correct, because it's Thursday. Your code says if your money is less than or equal to 10 OR the day is NOT Friday then print out "It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out." It should only print this out if it is Friday and the money is less than 10.

I think you can get it with these hints, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
