Get an online degree for less. The more important thing is having the knowledge associated with the degree, which you can learn on your own. Credentials are only important for highly competitive and specialized roles.
Do you have any recommendations? It seems like there's just a few EE ones that are accredited, although I'm open to CS as well just to have a degree for the opportunities.
I'm not sure if EE stands for electrical engineering or Eastern Europe. Either way, I'd get a degree from a well-known school in the field you wish to work. I don't have an online degree so I can't recommend from experience, but that's my advice as a hiring manager. Berkeley's MAS, which has specializations in robotics, electronics, and electronics, is $42k+:

I suggest reviewing the curricula before applying.
My partner is doing a distance learning bachelors from the Open University in the UK. They have both part time and full time tracks. The part time takes 6 years to complete. It's interesting too because the university has been doing distance learning for a long time, so it's not a standard online class. I believe the cost for the whole degree is around 32k USD.
Also, I suspect that if you plan to continue working in software, since you have experience, you maybe shouldn't worry too much about a degree from outside the US. I bet many recruiters just view a degree as a checkmark and are more interested in your work experience.
