They were the galactic policemen and they lead the military as well. I'm sure their order was well funded.
Also FSA |

The members of the rebellion were, well, rebels. One of the things that rebels tend to do is steal weapons and shit. Similarly, they also tend to have money, from both legitimate and illegitimate sources, used for all sorts of stuff.
Also, there weren't exactly a lot of Jedi around by the time the rebellion really got going, so I'm not sure why you're focusing on them. Plus, they can just mind-trick everybody... "you don't need to see my credit card".

They were monks, who didn't take baths apparently

The Jedi had disbanded and scattered throughout the galaxy and were hunted down by the Empire.

Jedi- robe wearing religious fundamentalists who went around chopping the heads off of anyone that disagreed with their hockey religion, they also functioned as the secret police for a decrepit and dishonest galactic government consisting of a collection of dictators, kleptocrats, and monopolists.

Star Wars wiki indeed Just like any other rebels in history. Some from sources like legitimate employment, some from more... unconventional means. I don't really see what's so hard to understand about how a rebel army supported by a rebel movement works, as there have been quite a number throughout recorded history. |

The Imperial Credit was the galactic medium of exchange, pretty much used by everyone including Rebels but the Alliance had its own credit too.
And yes, pretty much all the Jedi that survived the purge were bums, none of them had what most would consider a legitimate job. Hell Han Solo's job was more legitimate, cause he actually worked. |

The Jedi were space opera samurai. They worked for the government before being cast out and treated like ronin.

This might be one of the silliest Star Wars threads ever. There is nothing that would prohibit Jedi from taking jobs, contracts, running a business etc. The Jedi Order itself were more/less Galactic problem solvers. Like some sort of super Interpol.
Money in Star Wars is the Credit chip. Often encoded to cylinders (credit card) Storm Troopers wear the same armor all the time and never seem to take a shower either, they must stink a lot..........I don't know about you, but I think Star Wars missed out on including a padawan shower scene. 
Klingons never bath either.

I think the canonical answer is that the Jedi Order essentially acted as a pseudo-extension of the Old Republic's judicial branch, and was funded in part from the Republic itself. Consider how the Jedis compare to the Catholic Church, which is another example of an extremely long-lived religious organization with significant secular wealth and power. One would imagine that any organization around that long, composed of individuals of exceptional super-human talents, is liable to not only obtain currency through various means, but will continue to grow in wealth and power over the centuries from the accumulation and investment of wealth.

That is until the Empire took over and started printing Republic Credits so much that it took 26 million to buy deathsticks! |
