"Those test if just one of the conditions are true." I can not solve the problem.

How resolve this problem?

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

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

More simple than u think, u need to change the OR signs || to the AND signs && so that both conditions have to be true to run the alert. If only one is true it will check the next condition. Then at the 4th one u change !== to === so the var today is STRICT EQUAL TO Friday. This way it will output the alert "It's Friday, but I don't have enough money to go out".

Just try to read it from top to bottom and it should make sense. Good luck!

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.");
}
