“耗得起”包含两个方面:
一、耗什么。
二、量足够。
“耗”是消耗、耗费的意思,大家都知道,但是,这里绝不是单指“浪费”的意思,只能说,有时候指浪费。
而耗费的也不只是时间,而是一起可以耗费的东西:时间、财力、精力、人力、物力、资源等等。最后就是量足够消耗,所以叫“耗得起”也就是“消耗的得起”或“耗费得起”。如果量不够,那么就是“耗不起”。
比如:太晚了,我可和你们耗不起了,我得去睡觉了。这里耗不起的就是精力,而不是时间。
同样:再晚我也陪你,我有足够的精力,耗得起。
这项工程到现在还完成不了,我们的财政实在耗不起了。
你这种洗碗的方式太费水了,我们家可耗不起。
你这种洗碗的方式太费水了,也就只有你们家耗得起。

耗得起 = can waste/consume ( time /money / energy ,etc) to do something. It means“ have enough ( time /money / energy ,etc) for something”
We usually use it as a phrase
我有的是时间,我耗得起。
我有的是青春,我耗得起。

I have took a look in the dictionary, "耗" is a verb, in your situation, it means "withstand". "起" is an adverb here, meaning "can" or "being able to", "得" is a preposition connecting the verb and the adverb. So the whole term means "have the ability to withstand". For example,
1. When you have a row with someone, you may say 「我今天时间很多,跟你耗得起 (I have a lot of time today, so I can withstand (wasting my time))」
Hope my answer helps you!
