Best Answer

"It's not worth it, spending money on this thing" is fine, but you can remove the redundant second "it".

It's not worth spending X on Y.

It's not worth spending X to do Y.

As you guess, you don't have to use "spend". You can simply say:

X isn't worth the Y.

Examples:

My boss wants me to spend way too much time at the office, but it's not worth what he's paying me.

I don't get it. It's not worth spending all the time and money on building a giant wooden thing for Burning Man, if in the end you're just going to burn it.
