Young fellow making money nowadays (3)

I believe the answer is:

lad

'young fellow' is the definition.
(lad can mean a young boy)

'money nowadays' is the wordplay.
'money' becomes 'l' (L can mean 'pounds').
'nowadays' becomes 'AD' (AD, Anno Domini, as opposed to BC, Before Christ).
'l'+'ad'='LAD'

'making' is the link.

(Other definitions for lad that I've seen before include "Scottish lover" , "Boy or youth" , "Shaver" , "Boy, familiar" , "Chap, fellow" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
