I see now why it is good to stock up on associates degrees.

Yep, so do I
Breakdown at this company is here
Each Cert is 1, Associate is 2, Bachelors is 5, Masters is 8, Doctorate is 15
I would need 30 points to get to the position I would like to have and have all the experience for.

How about a graduate certificate or a Masters? Would the graduate certificate or a Masters be a 5 or higher? Interesting scoring, more might not be better, I would shoot for something else.  If you get all 4, 2, 2, it's 18 points, but it won't be within your 5K budget, unless that's 5K/year tuition assistance or reimbursement you're referring to.  

You can do something for cheaper, easier, faster, yet controversial - through foreign credential evaluations, especially since, on the last day of this month plus June 1, they've got a super special going on!  Take the triple ENEB Masters programs and have them evaluated as triple Bachelors using ECE, cost is ~$450 for evaluations alone, the triple Masters at ENBE is $225 (gifting, an all time low for 3 Masters).

See ENEB in signature for ECE and other evaluations, if your company accepts Validential, it can be 3 Masters.

We get no reimbursement. I can swing about 5k a year towards education.

How does this work for bringing in these credits to another USA university for credit? Is that even possible?

Yes, as I mentioned, see the ENEB WIKI in my signature, favorable foreign credit evaluation will either get you a Bachelors, Grad Cert, or Masters degree, depending on which evaluation service you're going for and is acceptable by your company or employer...

Do they accept Validential? For 5K, you can do the following to get 31, plus an extra 8 bonus points!
ENEB Triple Masters, $225 gifting option plus $450 for evaluation - 3 Masters using Validential, for 24 points.
UMPI AALS for FREE, BBA or BLS $1700/session (7 points), MAOL $2350/session (extra 8).
Total: 225+450+1700+2350 = $4750, you can finish all of these within the 1-1.5 years

I'm not understanding how the foreign credit evaluation works. If I get a degree from overseas and have it evaluated here in the USA does that mean my degree is valid and must be honored by other colleges? I am a little confused but reading the links

No, it may be evaluated favorably as equivalent to RA undergraduate degree, graduate certificates, or partial graduate credit. Institutions follow most recommended foreign credit evaluations, they don't have to, you're at the mercy of what the institution will do. If your evaluation is favorable, and the institution is pretty straightforward with taking these recommendations, they'll be applied accordingly to your degree requirements at the next institution. The institution taking in the credits may take it all or partially, that's the main thing.

It's pretty simple and laid out for you on the WIKI on possibilities. Example, ENEB comes in as a RA Bachelors degree at ECE, you can apply to universities that take NACES recommendations for entry into their Masters program. Another example is, ENEB comes in as graduate credit/certificate at IEE, you can apply and send these in for transfer into a Masters to shorten the requirements and timeframe for that MBA or Masters in a business subject such as management. Validential gives full RA Masters, for entry into Doctorates...

UMPI BLS will take the bulk of your credits and place them into the general education and electives, up to 90 credits, the rest will go towards the 'other credits' under the line not used towards this degrees requirements.  If you go for TESU, the closes you'll get would be a BALS with the NSM concentration, at the end of the day, you'll get a Liberal Studies degree either institution you go...

What is a NSM concentration?

Look under "Degree Evaluation and Equivalency Results" https://degreeforum.miraheze.org/wiki/ENEB

"Masters Degree (Jamaica) The University Council Of Jamaica. In 2020 they evaluated ENEB's MBA and the Master in International Trade degree as equivalent to Masters Degrees. Isabel diplomas were submitted alongside ENEB ones."

What more evidence do you need?

What is a NSM concentration?

A concentration in Natural Science & Mathematics...
