how i remember this radical: the top part of this character looks like an upside down dollar sign; and the bottom part looks like someone flipping through a stack of money, thus indicating how one is “spend’ing money.

The radical of this character is ‘MONEY’ and we ‘SPEND’ it in return for something in our daily lives.

The first character seems ti be chasing the next radical. From this illustration we can recall the word “to spend”.

The upper part of the character looks similar to the dollar sign, which can convey the meaning of spending or money-related concepts.

The top part looks like a dollar sign and if we separate the radical at the bottom, the middle part looks like a wallet and the bottom part is a person radical. So therefore it is like a person opening their wallet to SPEND money!

The upper part is the same as the $ sign and we all know that 贵 also has shell character so it’s representing spending money.

When you pass certain borders you must pay a “费” to cross; the top of the character looks like a path with many borders/intersections to pay at and the bottom character “贝“ or “bèi” sounds like “pay”.

The character looks like a grill for a barbecue, you cook the steak at the top and the legs are at the bottom. To have a good barbecue you need to put a lot of effort cooking. In terms of pronunciation, the character sounds similar to fee, reminding me that I need to spend money to pay my debt.

when you don’t remember how to write ‘spend’, try to remember what the word ‘expensive’ looks like. Once you remember take the top part and add the complicated part there because spending is complicated.

The way I remember this character is by relating it to 贵, they both relate to money and the only difference between the characters is the top portion of the character.
