[Mass Effect] What is the domestic Quarian economy like on the Migrant Fleet?

We know the Quarians, as a government, has access to funds used to trade with the greater intergalactic community, but what is their internal, domestic economy like within the Migrant Fleet for day to day living amongst themselves?

People need to eat, get clothes, have some entertainment and recreation. Young Quarians need at least some funds for food, lodging, and transportation when they start out on their Pilgrimage.

How does the Quarian Domestic Market work? Do they all receive a salary while living in the Migrant Fleet? Is it a fully communal society? Are there discretionary funds available for Quarians to buy personal items if they are away from the Fleet for official or personal reasons? Do they have a Quarian currency or is it all barter?

I remember Tali saying that each Quarian *is given* some money and resources for their pilgrimage.   

It seems to me that it's a mostly state-run economy where essentials like food would be distributed in a way to avoid some having excesses and others having too little.    

There has to be some way that they acquire their personal luxury items, but we're not shown it clearly. It might even vary from ship to ship, as each ship is like a micro-nation within the fleet's Federation.
