Austria is one of the world's best-kept financial secrets.  Not only does it offer first-class private banking services, it also has some of the most affordable real estate in Western Europe.  And speaking of secrets—in Austria, the privacy of banking records is protected by a law with the same legal status as the Austrian Constitution! 

If you're looking for a safe, affordable, and culturally rich place to relocate, look no further than Austria's historic capital, Vienna.  Mercer's, a human resources consultancy, rates Vienna as the world's second most desirable city in which to live. 

Austrian Money Secrets shows you how to use an Austrian bank account as a jumping-off point for access to investment opportunities throughout the world.  You'll learn what it's like to live in Austria, as I did for more than two years, and the best ways to qualify for residence and an Austrian passport.

Here are some of the Austrian Advantages you'll learn about in Austrian Money Secrets:

• The asset protection advantage. In Austrian courts, the loser must pay the winner's legal bills, courts can't award punitive damages in civil disputes and all relevant documents must be translated into German by an official translator. And, there is no automatic recognition or enforcement of U.S. civil judgments.
• The euro advantage. Austria uses the euro as its official currency, giving it unrivaled access to the markets of the other members of the euro block, Combine this with first-class Austrian banking services and you'll find unparalleled access to global financial markets.
• The neutrality advantage. Austria's constitution guarantees permanent neutrality in international disputes. This makes Austria an unlikely target for terrorism and possible disruption of its financial markets.
• The residential and citizenship advantage. Austria welcomes qualified long-term immigrants. It's possible to even obtain instant Austrian citizenship by making a substantial investment in an Austrian business venture, or creating your own. An Austrian passport not only permits you to live or work in any EU countries without a visa, but also allows visa-free travel to more countries than almost any other travel document. It also permits you to visit countries that you can't visit (at least not officially) with a U.S. passport (such as Cuba).
