Quality of life certainly is going down, although that more to do with a few rich people taking all the money rather than overpopulation and running out of resources.

There are blips like the odd pandemic or war, and the impending environmental collapse could fuck everything up, but the trend of history shows that quality of life just keeps improving. See Hans Rosling's presentations on life expectancy, literacy, wealth and child mortality.
The idea that there are limited resources that we all need to fight over is false, bad and dangerous. See Robert Zubrin's recent lectures and interviews referring to our infinite sky.

We're not overpopulated, we just have a bad system called capitalism.
