“Rolling in it”

Hi Strands fans. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that "Rolling in it" can relate to money, though there's always a chance that the Strands game setters will be bluffing and making a game about tumbling or rolling pins.
Thankfully, I realized that wasn't the case pretty quickly when I spotted WEALTHY spelt out along the right-hand side. When I saw MONEYED immediately below, it was confirmed that this was specifically about terms for well-off people.
I couldn't find the word "loaded" (perhaps too British a term), but did see AFFLUENT tucked away in the top-right corner, followed by OPPULENT diagonally across. That cleared the path neatly for the spangram: THATSRICH crossing the board from left to right.
Only one word was left to find. It was simply a case of decoding the anagram of ROUSEPOSRP, which wasn't too taxing. It was, of course, PROSPEROUS.
