Degree plan, preferably business or accounting?

Honestly, I think an Accounting degree from UMPI is your best bet - it's cheapest for sure, and leaves you time/money to go on and get a master's if you want (if you decide to become a CPA later). And I think that an Accounting degree usually covers all the business stuff you need - so you get more bang for your buck. A business degree does not give you all of the accounting you need if that's the field you want to go into.
