Retiring in your home town.

I own a small business in a small town. In the town's eyes, I'm on duty 24/7. I get calls at home all hours, any day of the week. Everywhere I go people think of me as my business.

I can't go out to a quiet dinner with my family unless I go 30 miles away. I can't stop off for a beer because a dozen customers will hang around because they think I "owe them one" because they do business with me.

I'm just wondering, when I do RE in 8 years at age 49 1/2, do you think I'll need to leave this area to be considered a "normal" citizen again ? Has anyone else felt the need to leave the area where they worked when they retired ?
