Quick means of subsistence (6)

I believe the answer is:

living

I believe this is a double definition.

'quick' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'means of subsistence' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

(Other definitions for living that I've seen before include "Existing" , "Extant" , "parish" , "sustenance" , "Quick; benefice" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
