Money to move around as you get rich (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

plush

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rich' is the definition.
('plush' can be similar in meaning to 'rich')

'money to move around' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'l' (L can mean 'pounds').
'to move' becomes 'push' (push is a kind of move**).
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'l' going within 'push' is 'PLUSH'.

'as you get' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plush that I've seen before include "Fabric with a long velvety pile" , "Fabric; richly luxurious" , "Cut pile, softer than velvet" , "Rich fabric" .)
