Rich not working after Spring? (4-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

well-off

'rich' is the definition.
('well-off' can be similar in meaning to 'rich')

'not working after spring?' is the subsidiary indication.
'not working' becomes 'off' (I've seen this in other clues).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'spring?' becomes 'well' (I've seen this before**).
'off' after 'well' is 'welloff'.

(Other definitions for well-off that I've seen before include "Quite wealthy" , "Affluent" , "Rich; fortunate" , "Fairly rich" , "Moderately rich" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
