Home in constant need of repairs, idiomatically (5)

I believe the answer is:

money

(Other definitions for money that I've seen before include "Coins, banknotes, etc" , "Mazuma, ackers or dosh" , "The 6 [NECESSARY]" , "Medium of exchange" , "ready" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
