I'm confused what you mean here - isn't a degree of risk aversion good? I feel like "most people" are incredibly not risk averse, in that they recognize that they have little savings to no savings, emergency funds and etc but still behave like they are not at risk.
I however, keep a 4-6mo fully liquid because I'm terrified at the thought of only having 1mo in liquid. Tbh, I'd love to have 12mo, but anything beyond 4-6 and it starts feeling obscene not investing the extra.
