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

My iPhone is the only device I have that connects to the internet. I cannot use the personal hotspot option because I don't have the necessary plan, nor will I be getting it since it is extremely expensive. How can I share my iPhone's connection?

iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4

A different question then: Can I create a functioning wifi network from my Mac?
If your Mac had a wired Internet connection, yes. If not, then no. You can not magically create a connection to the Internet where none exists.

I have snow leopard, so I can't do that. I actually have downloaded and uninstalled Mountain Lion because I hate the interface, and I have Final Cut Pro 7 files that Final Cut Pro 10 will not open. Thanks for the help though.

Yes, you can do it with Snow Leopard.
As previously stated, you cannot do this and connect yoru Mac to the internet thru your iPhone.
