Payment when you feel short of money? (3)
I believe the answer is:
fee
'payment' is the definition.
(payment for a job)
'feel short of money?' is the wordplay.
'short of' is a deletion indicator.
'money?' becomes 'l' (L can mean 'pounds').
'feel' with 'l' taken away is 'FEE'.
'when you' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fee that I've seen before include "Cost" , "Amount paid for job" , "(Entry) charge" , "Charge for professional services" , "price" .)
