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");

13,863 PointsYou are close with what you have so far, but there are some issues with your current solution.
Currently, you are using logical OR operators || to check for conditions. These are great for when we need only one condition to be true. However, for this challenge, we need to see if both conditions are true. You'll need to replace all of your || with a different operator . This will prevent only one condition being true and giving us the wrong response.
This link from MDN has a quick summary of logical operators in JavaScript.
The next thing is that on line 10, you currently have
if (money < 9 || today === 'Friday')
Our money is currently set to 9. This means that this condition will never be true.
To fix this, we need to change the first half to
money <= 10
Finally, add a ; to the end of your second line. While it's something that's extremely small, it's good to always end lines in JavaScript with semicolons. Fixing simple typos lessens the chance of introducing bugs into our code.
I hope that this helps. Keep up the good work!
