Something's wrong with this script. The value in the variable money is 9. But if you preview this script, the browser

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

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

You delete "=" not "!" from the secound else if. The "!" is negate it .

const money = 9;
const today = 'Friday'

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