Semicolons are optional at the end of a line, but it is a "best practice" to always use them. I'm sure it was left off unintentionally.

Your task here is to revise the conditional tests so that they match the messages given. For example, one message says "It's Friday...", but the test for printing it is checking if it is not Friday. Several other tests are checking the money OR the date, but the message implies they should check the money AND the date.

I'll bet you can do it now.
