ARGH! I will have been trying to speak English for years by the time I am 40 years old.

I don't think you even need this tense! This is so rarely used that it would be better for you to concentrate on the other two you mentioned.

First of all, non-progressive verbs can't be used in continuous tenses, so you can't have these: If I earn enough money, I will be owning that house some day. The glass will be containing a mixture of salt and water. I'll be being there before midnight.

That aside, if you have a choice between the simple and continuous forms of the future, use the simple form for spontaneous decisions and the continuous form to describe an activity that was already planned in advance.

— Would you like the cake or the pie for dessert?
— I'll take the pie.

— Can you come to our concert next month?
— No. Sorry. Next month I'll be swimming in Hawaii! I'm going there on vacation.
