Input in an if statement

I can't get this code to work:

Java:

String answer;

System.out.println("Do you have $200,000 - $500,000 or more?");
answer = input.next();

if (answer == "yes")
{
System.out.println("Do you want to get to places quickly?");
answer = input.next();

if (answer == "yes")
{
System.out.print("Purchase a Lamborghini Aventador.");
}
else if (answer == "no")
{
System.out.print("Purchase a Rolls-Royce Phantom.");
}
else
{
System.out.print("Invalid answer.");
}
}
else if (answer == "no")
{
System.out.println("Do you have $100,000 - $200,000?");
answer = input.next();

if (answer == "yes")
{
System.out.println("Do you like imports?");
answer = input.next();

if (answer == "yes")
{
System.out.print("Purchase a Nissan GTR.");
}
else if (answer == "no")
{
System.out.print("Purchase a Dodge Viper SRT.");
}
else
{
System.out.print("Invalid answer.");
}
}
else if (answer == "no")
{
System.out.print("Purchase a Honda Fit.");
}
else
{
System.out.print("Invalid answer.");
}
}
else
{
System.out.print("Invalid answer.");
}

Whenever I run it, it displays the first question and asks for input, but no matter what I enter, it always outputs "Invalid answer." and stops there. How do I fix this?

Nevermind, I figured it out. (replaced == with .equals)
