After inheriting over seven figures, Barbie had the opportunity to fulfill her and her daughter’s dream of living by the beach. She sold their old house and moved to Malibu, California, where, like most people would say, “adventure awaits.”

Barbie and her daughter were excited to start a new life in this beautiful city they had never settled in. They soon found a stunning home by the sea, where they could bask in the wonder of nature.

However, she soon realized living in Malibu was more expensive than she thought. She had not considered the additional expenses of buying a new home. She forgot the property taxes, maintenance costs, and insurance.

And how could she not think of the additional cost? According to someone, Malibu is a money pit filled with empty AirBnBs, grocery stores on the highway with outrageous prices, and tourist traps. However, her daughter was excited, so she didn’t mind.

Barbie’s late husband’s lawyer was not pleased with her decision to sell their old house and move to Malibu. He felt it was not a wise financial decision and was furious when Barbie did not listen to him.
