earnings, work, earn money
稼 centers on productive effort that yields material gain: working to earn money or a living, and the earnings that result from that work.
稼 combines 禾 (grain) and 家 (house), suggesting the idea of grain stored at home as a result of agricultural work, which extended to earnings and labor in general.
Grain 禾 piled up at home 家 represents the fruit of hard work: earning a living through labor.
For カ, picture a car (カ) loaded with grain you earned from work, driving it home to your house.
