Default Looking for a very inexpensive EdD or PhD

Rheumatoid arthritis is throughout my body and I am currently unemployed. I Used to run computer networks for big companies through the 80's and 90's when I was healthy and in my prime. I need a very inexpensive EdD or PhD option from an American university in education that is DETC or Regionally accredited (in other words has valid accreditation).

I have regionally accredited degrees from the local community college and state university. Additionally I completed an online distance MBA from Baker College. I also have a DETC accredited Masters of Divinity from a private college. So what remains for me is a Phd. But I am only working part time and savings are gone so money is a major issue.

Worthy s***estions please?

I am not competent and won't s***est providers, but I WILL s***est this: plan, study and definitely work ahead.
Whichever school you may choose will enforce a MINIMUM attendance (EX you cannot complete the degree in less than two years of full-time registration ): your goal should be to complete your thesis within the minimum/compulsory attendance limit...otherwise you'll see years after years of tuition fees coming out of your pockets...and doctorates aren't very cheap...for EU citizens in the UK they cost around 3000 UK£ per year.
chumsci.edu (DETC) bills $16.500 for a doctorate (plus books & ancillary fees ).
Athabasca ( RA ) bills Can$ 41.000 for a doctorate (plus books & ancillary fees ) COMPLETED WITHIN A STANDARD TIME PERIOD.

Taft University has an Ed.D and so does Aspen University and both are DETC accredited:

Aspen- http://www.aspen.edu/edd/index.htm

Taft University - www.taftu.edu

For RA Ed.D's the cheapest are Northcentral University, Liberty University, and TUI, which has a PhD program and not an Ed.D:

Northcentral - www.ncu.edu

Liberty University - www.liberty.edu

TUI University - www.tuiu.edu

Liberty does require residencies
