A few people do things like this, meanwhile a few million people WISH they could do things like this but it costs money to survive. That's why people go to work everyday. How do these people earn money to survive while they're walking all the time? Because last time I checked, whenever I walk somewhere I've never earned a damn dime.

From the wikipedia article:

From late 2008 to 2010, Bushby spent his time in Mexico for cost reasons and was unable to travel to Russia. This was both because of trouble getting a visa and permits, and because of financial trouble; Bushby lost several of his sponsors due to the 2008 financial crisis. After Bushby secured new sponsors in 2010, the Russian government issued him another visa, and he resumed walking across Russia in the spring of 2011.

So basically he takes breaks, keeps the costs low and has sponsors, but financial troubles are absolutely an issue.

I don't think money is the only issue. You're also having to take so much time away from family and friends. I think many people would rather have a pretty normal life instead of dedicating years and years to a massive expedition. Hats off to the guy though, it's quite an achievement.
