Oh, I am all for change. And the interest based system is a machine for enslavement. But even within that system, people are able to do things differently (yes - only to an extent until some regulations and/or government shut it down.
Here is an example. Housing is very expensive here and the loans are usually 30 years. If you default at any time - house gone with everything you put into it.
A real estate friend of mine told me of a group of 20 families who all bought one house together. They all moved into the house, worked like crazy. Paid it off in a matter of a few month. Then, they bought another house. Half moved into the new house. Everybody worked. paid it off. And they did that until everyone had a house. Paid off. But most people would not be willing to live that close with others even for a short time - or trust that their turn will come too.
