if ( money >= 9 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");    
} else if ( money >= 9 && today === 'Friday' ) {

} else if ( money > 9 && today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie");   
} else if ( money < 9 || today !== 'Friday' ) {

Perhaps this hint will help:

For this challenge, your task is to fix operators that perform the wrong test for the message that is generated if the test is true. You'll only be changing operators, no changes should be made to variables, literal values, or the messages.

I’ve fixed it and it telling me something is wrong wit the conditional statement for the last “else if” clause. Am I’m missing something?

All you needed to do for the challenge was change all the OR operators to AND operators. Also, there is a semi colon missing after the today variable.
