Flagship engagement
Couple's Goal Map
Four in-person sittings that turn a couple's house, school, parent-care, and later-life hopes into one written map with dates, monthly amounts, and a review month.
Office in Tambon Lubobo, or the couple's home inside Amphoe Yi-ngo
Who it is for
Married couples and long-term partners who share a household in Narathiwat, or who can travel to the Lubobo office. The engagement suits a teaching salary beside stall cash, a cooperative loan beside a savings book, or two pay slips that never quite meet in the same notebook.
What you take home
A written Goal Map in Thai, with an English summary if the couple asks. Each goal carries a name the couple chose, a date, a monthly amount, the person who moves it, and the month the map will be read again.
How the sittings run
Sitting one · 90 minutes
Hearing
Both partners speak. The planner listens for how money arrives, which bill is paid first, and where the two of them already disagree. Nothing is named as a goal yet. The couple leaves with a one-week cash note: write what came in, do not change how it is spent.
Sitting two · 75 minutes
Naming
Goals are written in the couple's own words. A shophouse, a child's upper-secondary fees, a mother's medicine, a quieter year after sixty. Dates are still rough. The planner asks which goal would hurt to drop, and which one can wait.
Sitting three · 75 minutes
Amounts
Monthly figures are set against the cash picture from sitting one. If the figures do not fit, the date moves or the amount falls. Tradeoffs are spoken in the room, not smoothed over in the document.
Sitting four · 60 minutes
The map
The couple reads the written map aloud. Names, dates, amounts, and the review month are corrected while both are present. They take two copies home. The office keeps one for the annual review.
Included
- Four sittings on the timetable above
- A household questionnaire sent before sitting one
- The written Goal Map, printed and as a paper copy the couple can mark
- One follow-up letter within ten days of sitting four, restating the review month
Outside this engagement
- Tax returns and dealings with the Revenue Department
- Wills, land-title work, and other legal documents
- The purchase or sale of insurance, funds, or any investment product
- Holding client money, or negotiating a loan with a bank or cooperative
What to prepare
- Both partners at sitting one and sitting four
- Recent pay slips or a simple note of a typical month's takings
- A list of debts: lender, monthly payment, and what the debt paid for
- Savings books or gold the couple is willing to mention
- Any existing promise to parents or siblings that already leaves the household
Fee
The fee is 18,500 THB, paid in two parts: 40 percent to reserve the four dates, and the rest before sitting three. If the household also runs a shop or smallholding with its own books, the fee begins at 22,000 THB once sitting one shows that extra set of books. A First Sitting already paid within the previous 60 days is credited against this fee.
Limits of the work
Home sittings stay inside Amphoe Yi-ngo. Couples farther away come to the office in Tambon Lubobo. The office will not take instructions from one partner about joint money when the other was expected in the room. Sittings are held in Thai.
Fees for every engagement are listed together on the fees page. The sequence of a full Goal Map is also told, from the couple’s side of the table, on the planning path.
