What does poder asumirlo mean?
Expression
to be able to manage it — financially
Asumir un gasto is taking it on. It sounds soberer and less personal than saying you can pay, which is why it turns up when you want to signal that a price is tight without opening a negotiation. Me lo puedo permitir would sound far more comfortable.
Es caro, pero con el sueldo nuevo puedo asumirlo.
