Quality of Life is a first-world invention. The rest of the world is happy with earning a living.

No, the rest of the world is happy with earning a living, having their health, and keeping themselves surrounded by family and friends. Weirdly enough, most of the world takes those last two items (family and friends) for granted, while Americans tend to throw away the last three (health, family, friends) for the sake of careerism.

I don't see any evidence that seeing a distribution between wealth and quality of life is unique to the first world.
