Sean,

Welcome to the list.  

First, you may actually be able to make it to Katahdin
in your timeframe, but that depends on your speed,
days off and desire to "hurry" a bit.  But it is
do-able.  However, I am the last person who would
recommend that you hurry; I took 7 months and smelled
all the roses.  If I were you, I'd also probably plan
on making it only as far as I make it, i.e., no real
plans or schedule.  Just see where you end up.

Second, $3500-4000 should be just right for a 4.5
month hike.  You should be able to eat well, stay in a
few hotels/hostels and travel to/from the trail on
that money.
