Luke 8:14 - to what does 'of life' refer?

οι ακουσαντες και υπο μεριμνων και πλουτου και ηδονων

Luke 8:14 TR-Stephens 1550, Beza 1598, Elzevir 1624 and Scrivener 1894 are all identical.

And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

KJV 1769

In the above, does 'of life' refer just to the pleasures or does it also refer, grammatically, to the cares and the riches ?
