Tips to fix script in super conditional challenge.

I've tried various variations with || and && while adjusting the "else ifs" but I am stuck and can not properly test the money and today variables.

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 ( 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.");
}

var money = 9;
var today = 'Friday'

// This says: if money is greater or equal to 100 OR if today is friday. This should be && so it says. money is greater or equal to 100 AND today is friday.
if ( money >= 100 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time to go to the theater");    
} 
// Same thing here, it says OR and not AND.
else if ( money >= 50 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie and dinner");    
} 
// Same thing here, it says OR and not AND. 
else if ( money > 10 || today === 'Friday' ) {
  alert("Time for a movie");   
} 
// This just checks if today is friday, which it is. So try doing && on the three first statements.
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.");
}

I can't check it myself but it should probably be something 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 ( 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.");
}
