Welcome to the boards! As someone who was in your shoes 10 years ago, I can tell you what I did...I stopped the exams. I think you need to figure out what kind of retirement you're interested in. Do you want the MMM type of low-consumption badass retirement? Or do you want to bankroll trips, golf, expensive hobbies, etc? If you're going the MMM route, you'll have 400k saved up by the end of the year, and the end is in sight (perhaps just 3 or 4 more years). If your passion is elsewhere, then you're not going to want/need to work for only money anymore, and you'll drop that profession faster than a soccer mom drops her paycheck at Target!
Personally, I've found great success using the business skills I picked up working as an actuary along with the analytical skills to leverage myself as a badass business analyst. If you're one "lesser" actuary in a group of 60, you'll be below average. If you're the only analytical one in a group of policy makers, then you're the superstar.
As for the CPA above, actuaries know that CPA stands for "Can't Pass actuarial Exams". :) Seriously, these things are brutal. The pass rate is somewhere below 40%, and the societies recommend at least 400 hours of study time per sitting (twice a year). That's just shy of another 40 hour per week job.
