We can't find a reference to the account 'ShippingPostalCode' field in the validation rule.

Create a validation rule:
Rule Name: Contact_must_be_in_Account_ZIP_Code
Operator: AND (return true if both conditions are true)
Define two error conditions:
The contact is associated with an account id
Hint: Use the ISBLANK and NOT functions.
The contact mailing zip code is different than the account shipping zip code
Hint: Use the API names (MailingPostalCode and ShippingPostalCode) and the <> (Not Equal) operator.
Enter an error message for the validation rule

BELOW IS THE ERROR
We can't find a reference to the account 'ShippingPostalCode' field in the validation rule.

Validates that the Phone number is in (999) 999-9999 format. This works by using the REGEX function to check that the number has ten digits in the (999) 999-9999 format. Error Message: US phone numbers should be in this format: (999) 999-9999.   https://www.myadvocateaurora.us/

Hello Ankaiah,
Thank you for your time on this. I tried what has been suggested, however that gives me an error as below: 
Error: Field BillingPostalCode does not exist. Check spelling

I'm trying to Create a validation rule in Contact object, wondering if im doing it right. I tried to apply similar validation rule in Account object too to see if that helps. 

Thank you for trying to help me learn, means a lot..
