I don't see how it's possible for me to "evolve" beyond desire if we're talking about evolution, since individuals can't evolve.
I have a hard enough time changing simpler things in my own life, let own my ability to desire.

I don't want to give up my desires. I don't see money becoming useless because money is anything which we desire or require that is able to become our property through our labor or trade. Here's what I don't see happening:
I don't see people working for free for the rest of their lives.
I don't see people giving away everything they work for for the rest of their lives.
I don't see people giving up on the idea that trade is a bad thing.
I see working for a living, keeping what you work for, and trading for what you want as good things. These things make for a better quality of life, especially when it's 100 degrees outside and you want some ice cold lemonade.
