False.

A budget does more than prevent new debt — it shows where your money goes, frees up cash, and creates a plan to pay down existing balances. With a budget you can list debts, prioritize payments (snowball or avalanche), cut or reallocate spending to increase repayment, apply windfalls to principal, automate payments, and track progress. All of those actively help you get out of debt.
