Question #13

Gatsby tells Nick that when he first dated Daisy, he led her to believe he was wealthy and able to take care of her. Nick tells the reader that, "As a matter of fact, he had no such facilities�he had no comfortable family standing behind him, and he was liable at the whim of an impersonal government to be blown anywhere about the world."

What does "facilities" mean in the context of this sentence?
