Q: How can I share my iPhone's wireless connection with my Mac?

The Personal Hotspot feature (which you refuse to use) is how you can share the iPhone's internet connection with other devices.

YOu can't not without personal hotspot enabled thru yoru phone carrier.

No, your question has already been answered.

If you can't afford to use personal hotspot on your phone, then you can't share your internet.

And you'll still need personal hotspot to connect via bluetooth.

as stated in this apple support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4517

You have already been answered. Your refusal to accept reality will not alter the facts.

Thanks Tim!!!

A different question then: Can I create a functioning wifi network from my Mac?

Yes.

-> OS X Mountain Lion: Create a computer-to-computer network

Note: This will not allow you to connect your Mac to the internet via your iPhone (since you need a personal hotpost to share the internet with yrou Mac).
