How does home ownership affect one's future purchasing power?

It really more depends on where you live and if you actually save the difference of rent versus buying.

My primary residence is just for pure enjoyment and some say that is more valuable than money.

Purchasing power like for daily living is not impacted. The only impact on daily living is more diving, more surfing, more suntanning, and more fishing.
