Hi Clayton you need to change the or || operator to the and && operator
then add the money condition less than 10 it should be like this

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."); }

First, you need to check the two conditions money and Friday if both conditions are true it's time to go to the theater. To do this you need to replace the logical operator || (or) with && (and).

Then you need to check the last if else clause because your money needs to be at least 10 and need to be Friday to go out so you will change the conditions in the clause. First we check if we have enough money than you chek if it's Friday.

Hope this helps you.

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.");
}
