The usual financial problem, namely shortage of money, faced them. Money was desperately needed to equip, supply and pay salaries for the army fighting in the field. Unfortunately the Continental Congress did not have any means to levy and collect taxes. The individual colonies had to supply the money and troops and they had the same problem. Money was scarce anyway and taxation was a particularly sensitive issue.
