"Realmente vale la pena? Pienselo."

Question

I saw this phrase on a poster. I am guessing it means, "Is it really worth the risk? Think about it." But I'm not really sure. Pienselo isn't in the dictionary. Could anyone give me a good translation?

Answer 1

Rather than "worth the risk," "vale la pena" means "worth the trouble/your time/your while."

Answer 2

Is it really worth it? Think about it.

¿Vale la pena? = Is it worth it? (Is it worth the pain?)

You are right that "pienselo" means "think about it."
