Depends on the person. Only flight I took was one-way from Maine to NOLA when it was all done.

You can spend as low as $2500 or as high as $10k. That's extremely cheap for a 6 month trip. How much does it cost just to fly to Europe and back for a 2 week trip?

Also, the majority of people are 20-something year old males who are out of college or in between jobs or are 60-something year old guys who just retired. I met the oldest guy to complete a thru-hike and he was trying to break his own record at 73. I also met a 15 year old boy and his 17 year old sister on their own.

Seeing the east coast by foot for half a year for 4K is unbeatable.
