Yankee moneymaker, one with aspirations (7)
I believe the answer is:
yearner
'one with aspirations' is the definition.
(someone who yearns for something)
'yankee moneymaker' is the wordplay.
'yankee' becomes 'Y' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'moneymaker' becomes 'earner' (someone who makes money).
'y'+'earner'='YEARNER'
(Other definitions for yearner that I've seen before include "One longing" , "discontented with his lot?" .)
