'be rich?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'home with those folk having single yen' is the wordplay.
'home with' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in'. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'those folk' becomes 'them' (those people).
'having' says to put letters next to each other.
'single' becomes 'one' (a single thing - only one).
'yen' becomes 'y' (resembles the symbol for the currency of Japan).
'in'+'them'+'one'+'y'='IN THE MONEY'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for in the money that I've seen before include "rolling" , "Flush" , "Well-off" , "Very wealthy" , "Suddenly rich" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
