I know that back in the 1980s and 90s, it was fairly common for someone to be able to hike the trail for under $1000. Obviously with inflation, that number has gone up. If someone were able to show extreme self-control (ex: minimal hostels and/or restaurants and/or stealth camping up north), does anyone think someone could realistically hike the AT for under $1500 or at the very least $2000.
