Wealthy looker gets date on first day (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moneyed

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

'wealthy' is the definition.
(I know that wealthy can be written as moneyed)

'looker gets date on first day' is the wordplay.
'looker' becomes 'eye' (I've seen this in another clue).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'date' becomes 'd' (abbreviation e.g. dob - date of birth).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'first day' becomes 'mon' (short for Monday. I am not sure about the 'first' bit.).
'eye' next to 'd' is 'eyed'.
'eyed' after 'mon' is 'MONEYED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for moneyed that I've seen before include "Having means" , "Well-to-do" , "Wealthy" , "Affluent" , "flush" .)
