Try to think of all the unknowns before you make a decision.
It may not be the simple fact that you're not in Georgia that's keeping you from finding a new job.
How long could you really go without work? Regardless, doing so would set you back and probably put a dent the savings for the new house.
Would an interviewer see you as someone that just bails when things aren't to your liking. Would he/she see you as the smart type of person they want to hire?
I'd love to just quit my job and be home more often. Doing so would hurt me and my family a great deal. I was on the street for nearly a year after the carrier I flew for went under. It sucked on so many levels. While I don't think you should 'chase the money' you shouldn't ignore it either. Life is all about balance. If you don't make enough you won't be happy. If you work to much to get what you need, you won't be happy.
My suggestion....take that free time and do all you can to find a job that gives you what you want and need. Sure it might take a little time, but sometimes we have to suffer through some sucky times so we can enjoy the good ones.
It will work out. Hang in there.
