(WXYZ) - This month, 90,000 retirees at Ford will have to make one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.

They’ll have to decide whether or not they’ll take the pension buyout from the automaker.

This is being called the largest voluntary buyout in history.

Retirees can decide whether they’ll manage their own retirement funds or get a monthly sum. The decision could mean the difference between a comfortable retirement, or one filled with struggles.

Here’s a list of the seminars where you can get more advice on the buyout:

  • August 21, 2012: 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Westin Hotel in Southfield
  • August 23, 2012: 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. at the Community House in Birmingham

To join the seminars, you’ll have to register online at FordPensionAdvice.com.

The seminars are being presented Steve Case of Financial Independence of Bloomfield Hills.
