stopping code with input and if statment

kns28722 (2)
What is wrong with this?? Why is it that when I enter 999 to the first question it goes ahead and asks the next question instead of stopping the code and spitting out the proper statement.

I haven't been coding for about a year... haha..

Also I know I've got some issues here. I noticed if there is a penny for change the program screws up. I haven't completely looked into all the errors with the code yet. I am reviewing programs I had to write for college last spring semester. I'll get to other things later. My main focus is figuring out what I need to do to make the code stop if someone enters in "999" to the first question.
