Abroad, place for spending (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

outlay

'for spending' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'abroad place' is the wordplay.
'abroad' becomes 'out' (abroad can mean away or out).
'place' becomes 'lay' (laying is a kind of placing).
'out'+'lay'='OUTLAY'

(Other definitions for outlay that I've seen before include "cost" , "Money expended" , "Money paid out" , "Spending" , "Initial expense" .)
