After an eight-year prison term for rape and assault, Max Cady (Robert Mitchum) is set free. Immediately making a beeline to Sam Bowden (Gregory Peck), the former prosecutor responsible for Cady's conviction, Cady laconically informs Sam that he intends to pay back the attorney for his years behind bars.
In America, less than 10 percent of couples delay the exchanging of wedding vows longer than two years once the decision to tie the knot has been made. According to various sources, the average engagement last year spanned 13 to 16 months.
As Iâm sure youâve heard, the old adage advises an engagement ring should cost roughly the equivalent of two monthsâ salary. The most recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that works out to roughly $6,400, on average. Thatâs not too far off from the average engagement ring cost of $5,978, according to The Knotâs 2015 Bridal Jewelry Trends Report. However, a recent GOBankingRates survey of 5,000 adults indicates that popular opinion on how much an engagement ring should cost reflects a stark contrast with reality.
