The definition is at the end of the clue.
How the clue works
The definition is desires — nice and simple at the end. For the wordplay, take Y (a variable, the sort you'd meet in maths), then add EARNINGS, which is your pay packet, with 'leads to such' acting as the link that tells you the first part leads on to the second and gives the answer.
