Why does this keep going to the elif block?

Question

Shouldn't it check the first if statement and go to black_room if donate_money = 0 and spend_money is 20?

def white_room():
    spend_money = raw_input("How much money have you spent?")
    donate_money = raw_input("How much money have you donated?")

    if (donate_money <= 0 and spend_money > 10): 
        print "You go to the black room!!"
        black_room()
    elif (donate_money > 0 and spend_money > 10):
        print donate_money
        print spend_money
        print "You can stay here..."
        white_room()
    else:
        print "You can live in the silver room forever"

Was going to answer but also you have to do int(spend_money) and int(donate_money) to do a numerical comparison. — Matt, Jul 18 '16 at 14:04

Change raw_input to just input, see How can I read inputs as integers? for details

spend_money = input("How much money have you spent?")
donate_money = input("How much money have you donated?")
