It seems to me that people will always find something else to worry about as they achieve something. I don't think that worry will ever go away on a large scale.

Having spent 3 years now living in Japan, 6 months living in France, 6 months in New York, 5 years in San Diego, and ages in San Francisco, the one constant has been that everywhere people have very different baseline levels of worry. It is clearly not just evolutionary, nor is it just about quality of life. It doesn't matter if people are "objectively better" off (health care, etc) if social norms make them so miserable that they kill themselves.
